Hi,

I'm currently running a PHP project in Kubernetes (php7-fpm, nginx etc..). On this project there is a seemingly successful setup of apm-agent-php in the php-fpm deployment. Kibana shows me APM transactions, BUT the problem is, I get no PHP errors showing on the APM error dashboard.

To make things easier for any friendly soul out there helping me, I put together a simple project (not Kubernetes). But instead - docker-compose with a basic sandboxed Elastic APM + Kibana + a simple PHP project to demonstrate a simpler setup than Kubernetes, with the same problem.

Feel free to clone the project and play around and see what I'm missing in the setup.

**Demo project with the problem**

> **[RichardLagerstrom/apm-agent-php-docker-compose](https://github.com/RichardLagerstrom/apm-agent-php-docker-compose)**
>
> Elastic APM & Kibana dev environment with a simple PHP project to test apm-agent-php. - RichardLagerstrom/apm-agent-php-docker-compose

**Kibana version** :  
7.13.1

**Elasticsearch version** :  
7.13.1

**APM Server version** :  
7.13.1

**APM Agent language and version** :  
[apm-agent-php\_1.1\_all.deb](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-php/releases/download/v1.1/apm-agent-php_1.1_all.deb)

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?**  
Fresh install, see demo project.

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)**:  
With APM agent in my PHP project, where transactions are shown on the Kibana dashboard, I expect that when an unhandled exception occurs, or HTTP 5xx error code - it should show on the dashboard for APM errors. I have never seen ANY error on the APM error dashboard. So something is off in my setup.

**Steps to reproduce** :  
Clone and run the Demo project, see link above.
