so, it is not work as i expected when issue the ex command
and press the ENTER key, the word "php" at the end of ex
command sequence will be expanded the "<?php ?>".
As Bill has suggested, to prevent this expansion in the
command-line, use ":iab" ("insert-mode abbreviation") instead of
":ab".
when i type the string just like the abbreviation, sometimes ,
we need to comment the code with some words, you maybe type a
word as your abbreviation, if you need the press<enter> or
<space> in which the comment, now ,what solution you have,
how to do you will ?
This is one of the reasons I don't often use abbreviations. :)
For them to be useful, they have to be unique stretches of text
or you have to remember to press control-V to break the
abbreviation. I usually throw some 'isk' character into my LHS
such as
:iab _P <?php ?>
to (1) make it something I'm not likely to type unintentionally
and (2) to minimize the number of keystrokes (including <shift>
going up/down) while remaining memorable enough that I actually
use it. So I usually only use abbreviations when there are long
stretches of prose with long & frequently repeated phrases (such
as the full name or a person or company).

PS: lamenting that "abbreviation" is such a long word...
