I am just a beginner to AWS. I need to know about lambda support. I am working on PHP.
Is the lambda supports PHP? If not is there any other alternative solution for it which supports PHP?

Actually no, but since November of 2018 AWS announced the Lambda layer which is basically the way to you run your own runtime such as PHP. You have two simple ways to run lambda with PHP

1 - Create your own cloudformation stack passing the PHP layer for example arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:887080169480:layer:php73:2

Something like that template.yml

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
Description: ''

Resources:
    MyFunction:
        Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
        Properties:
            FunctionName: 'php-layer'
            Description: ''
            CodeUri: .
            Handler: index.php
            Timeout: 10 # Timeout in seconds
            MemorySize: 1024 # The memory size is related to the pricing and CPU power
            Runtime: provided
            Layers:
                - 'arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:887080169480:layer:php73:2'

And create a PHP file index.php

<?php
echo "Hello from PHP Experience 2019";
?>

Create an AWS s3 bucket (for example mybuckettest)

Packaged cloudformation stack

sam package \
    --template-file template.yml \
    --output-template-file serverless-output.yaml \
    --s3-bucket phpex

Deploy your stack

sam deploy \
    --template-file serverless-output.yaml \
    --stack-name php-layer \
    --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

done

2 - Use the bref.sh a very simple PHP framework for aws lambda

When you work with AWS Lambda, you may also want to work with serverless package as it makes ongoing deployment and code management easier. you can check my implementation of serverless-php-lambda based on running amazon-linux vm and getting all php binaries from there. this allows to configure php more easier, no compilation, with libraries such as redis etc.
