PHP

Prerequisites

• You need a Sentry account and project
• Your application needs to run on PHP 7.2 or later
• Read one of these other guides if you use Laravel or Symfony

Features

Select which Sentry features you'd like to install in addition to Error Monitoring to get the corresponding installation and configuration instructions below.

Install

Install the Sentry SDK using Composer:

composer require sentry/sentry

pecl install excimer

Configure

To capture all errors, even the one during the startup of your application, you should initialize the Sentry PHP SDK as soon as possible.

\Sentry\init([
  'dsn' => 'https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0',
  // Specify a fixed sample rate
  'traces_sample_rate' => 1.0,
  // Set a sampling rate for profiling - this is relative to traces_sample_rate
  'profiles_sample_rate' => 1.0,
]);

Verify

In PHP you can either capture a caught exception or capture the last error with captureLastError.

try {
  $this->functionFailsForSure();
} catch (\Throwable $exception) {
  \Sentry\captureException($exception);
}

Set up Sentry through Forge

If you're using Laravel's Forge platform to provision and deploy your PHP application, you can create a Sentry organization through Forge.
