I’ve never tried it but there’s a PHP package at:

  https://github.com/mnd/guix-mnd-pkgs

We would be happy to integrate a recipe for PHP in Guix proper.  It’s a
matter of following the contribution check list at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>,
and we’d be happy to help with that process.

Providing a PHP service definition for GuixSD needs more discussion.
I’m personally not well versed in Web services but I know others on the
list are so hopefully they can provide some guidance.

The documentation for GuixSD services is at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Defining-Services.html>.

HTH!
