You can get the current instances values by using the meta-data api , these can be accessed from within your application by using a HTTP request library such as GuzzleHTTP or by using native cURL commands built into PHP.

To get the instance ID you would need to request from your current server to the following URL.

http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id

To get the instances current availability zone you would need to request from your current server the following URL

http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone

Assuming you use GuzzleHTTP it would be as simple as calling the below

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->get('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id');
echo "Instance ID: " . $response->getBody();
$response = $client->get('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone');
echo "Availability Zone: " . $response->getBody();
