It sounds like you might be looking for Eclipse's "template" functionality. I've used it in the Java editor and I imagine the PHP editor supports it, too. For example, I can type "foreach" and press the autocomplete key-combo (CTRL+SPACE) and Eclipse expands the foreach template in place, saving me lots of typing. You can define your own templates in Window->Preferences, (search for 'template'.) The Java settings are in Java/Editor/Templates.
