I have this for a psgml major and sql minor.  

    (require 'mmm-mode)
    (mmm-add-group 'xsql
     '((xsql-sql
        :submode sql-mode
        :front "<xsql:query\[^>\]*>"
        :back "</xsql:query"
        )))

    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.xsql\\'" . sgml-mode))

Try setting the major mode of your .php files to html-helper.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php\\'" . html-helper-mode))

Then, adding the submode.  Something like this might work, but untested.

(mmm-add-group 'php
  '((php
     :submode php-mode
     :front "\\?>"
     :back  "<\\?")))
