PHP Agent doesn't support capturing user information yet so I've created two issues: [#238 - Add public API to set user information](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-php/issues/238) and [#239 - Automatically captured transactions should include user information](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-php/issues/239).

Effort to add public API to allow application developer to add user information "manually" is much smaller than implementing agent's capability to discover user information automatically so the first issue will be resolved much sooner than the second one. Will having public API to manually set user information work for your use case?
