There's no library implementing Eikon Data APIs for PHP and none is planned for the future. Eikon is an end user product. Any data retrieved from Eikon is for individual user's use. PHP is primarily used server side. If you're creating a Web application that needs to utilize Refinitiv data server side you may want to look at Refinitiv Enterprise products such as Elektron datafeed, Datascope Select, TRKD etc. Or perhaps Eikon App Studio proposition might suit your use case. If you need help selecting a Refinitiv product that is a best fit for the solution you're implementing, the best resource is your Refinitiv account manager. I suggest you reach out to your Refinitiv account manager, who in turn will bring in any Refinitiv specialists into the conversation as needed.

Hi Alex, thanks for your answer. I'm wondering if it's possible to use Python API for Eikon and call the python script in my php code. What do you think about this solution?

I suppose it's technically possible, provided your PHP script is running on the Windows box where you have Eikon installed and running. You should still be mindful of the data usage license restrictions with Eikon. As long as your application is for individual user's use only, you should be fine. If it's any kind of enterprise or server side application, then data usage license you get with Eikon doesn't cover your use case.
