phpspy is a low-overhead sampling profiler for PHP 7+ written in C. It can attach to running PHP processes (CLI, Apache, FPM) without code changes and generate stack traces for flamegraphs.
Use cases
- profile a slow PHP script
- attach a profiler to a running PHP-FPM process
- generate flamegraphs for PHP applications
- find performance bottlenecks in production PHP without code changes
- monitor PHP memory usage and request info while profiling
- top-like live view of PHP process stacks
When to choose
- you need low-overhead production profiling of PHP on x86_64 Linux
- you want to attach to already-running PHP processes without restarting or instrumenting them
- you need flamegraph-compatible stack traces
When to avoid
- you are not on Linux x86_64 (aarch64 support is experimental)
- you use ZTS PHP builds
- you need a GUI-based profiler or Windows/macOS support
