The Datadog PHP Tracer (**ddtrace**) brings [APM and distributed tracing](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/) to PHP.

### Installing the extension

Datadog’s PHP Tracing Library supports many of the most common PHP versions, PHP web frameworks, datastores, libraries, and more. Prior to installation, please check our latest [compatibility requirements](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/setup_overview/compatibility_requirements/php/).

Visit the [PHP tracer documentation](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/languages/php/) for complete installation instructions.

#### Installation from PECL (datadog_trace) or from source

Compilation of the tracer and the profiler requires cargo to be installed. Ensure that cargo is minimum version 1.87.0, otherwise follow the [official instructions for installing cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).

### Advanced configuration

For more information about configuring and instrumenting **ddtrace**, view the [configuration documentation](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/setup/php/#configuration).

### OpenTracing

The **ddtrace** package provides an [OpenTracing-compatible tracer](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/custom_instrumentation/php/?tab=tracingfunctioncalls#opentracing).
