Good question. No, they are different. There are many, many names for a "hogie" type sandwich: Grinder, Subs, Po'Boy, Hero, Torpedo, etc etc. All basically the same type of sandwich. Some of them are served cold, like an Italian hogie with various cold cuts: like salami, ham, baloney etc, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, etc. Some are served hot, like a meatball sub, with a spicy tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
BUT, A "Philly" mushroom, cheese steak is only served hot and is limited to 3 basic ingredients: rib-eye steak, mushrooms, and cheese. Some people also ask for grilled onions and/or green peppers to be added to the 3 basic ingredients. Also, a "Philly" never, ever has mayo, or mustard or catsup or lettuce or tomato.
PS: "Philly" is a shortened name for Philadelphia, the city where it was invented.
When ordering a Philly mushroom cheese steak, you better be very hungry, because it is a very large yummy sandwich.
