Php using VSCode

I am learning Php and trying to get VSCode to Format and code complete my files. I have the Extensions recomended by VSC and have looked around but it seems that I have everything that they suggest. Is there a setting I am missing?
The issue for me is when saving it doesn't format or tab anything properly.(Even when Formatting the file from menu) I do have that set to on_save in settings not on_type. It doesn't even have an auto complete for a Php block.
Am I missing soemthing here? I set up my own snippet and that works but wondering why when you type <? VSC doesn't auto complete the rest. Any help would be awesome.

{

    "Php IF Statement": {
        "prefix": "pif",
        "body": [
            "<?php"
                "if ( $1 ) : ",
                " $2;",
                " endif;",
            "?>"
        ],
}

Hey Everyone!
Trying out writing a post about my journey into development and what that means for me. I believe I am somewhat of a minority, I am in my 50's and not looking to get a job as a developer at this moment. I am learning mainly because I really enjoy making/building things. I have been a maker my whole life starting with Photography and then moving on to furniture and sculpture building out of wood, metal, and glass. I then moved on to construction for the money. I have always wanted to build things and technology has always interested me thus, here I am.
A few years ago I started down the path of learning to code because I saw an Ad that said I could learn to code in 5 minutes! Either I am very slow or they were bending the truth somewhat. I like to think it is the later. I believe I am decent with CSS and HTML but I am still limited with Javascript. I am on the road to learning JS with a few online courses and although slow I think I am progressing. I have used Udemy, YouTube, Wes Bos, and others to learn but the one thing I have a hard time with is motivation.
Staying the course for me has been an issue because, as I have mentioned, I am doing this for vanities sake. Lately, I have made this my main focus and I think I will try the 100 days of code giving myself some motivation and accountability. So wish me luck!
