Elasticsearch is no different than any other data store: your application can add data by using the prescribed methods. Every data store has some sort of data input method. Elasticsearch allows river plugins, which mean that the Elasticsearch process can pull data instead of the standard push model. The pull model is usually employed when two data sources should be in sync (CouchDB, RDBMS).
I would stick to the standard push model. Have your client application index data via the PHP library.
