Hi,  
we use Kibana/ELK etc. We are currently looking at new relic etc for APM. However if Elastic APM had support for PHP then it would be a no brainer for us.

Any plans to support PHP in the near future?

This would be great for me. I'm currently looking at alternative APMs but if I could leverage the elastic stack for PHP it would make my life much easier.

Hi there,  
thanks for reaching out. We don't have any concrete plans for the APM agent yet, but feedback like this is helpful for prioritizing our roadmap.

best,  
Rasmus

As @makwarth says, we don't have any PHP agent yet. We do however have [public documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/6.2/intake-api.html) for our API, so it is possible to write your own agent. And though I haven't tested it my self, [a 3rd party PHP agent already exists](https://github.com/philkra/elastic-apm-php-agent) that you might take a look at.
