This usually is done with XML stuff I guess. Since the <?php tag is
missing the closing brace (>), it most likely isn't considered as XML
code itself.

I'd suggest to work around this using snippets. Add something like this
to your snippets.conf:

php=<?php\n%cursor%\n?>

See the manual at http://www.geany.org/manual/#user-definable-snippets
for detailed information how those snippets work. :)

Dominic
