PHP runs on the *server*. This has nothing to do with playback in the
*browser*.

And no - there is also no JavaScript-library which can decode and
playback audio formats which are not already supported by the browser -
this is technically not possible.

This has nothing to do with PHP at all. The browser or some browser
plugin needs to be able to play back the file format.

When using the HTML 5 <audio> tag to embed the audio file you usually
can only use MP3, OGG and WAV - and only MP3 is supported by every major
browser.

Since Flash is also not able to play back AMR you will also not find any
Flash based player which you could embed.

Quicktime supports AMR and this could be used using <embed> - but then
every visitor has to install Quicktime first before listening to the AMR
files on your site.

So my recommendation is to convert the AMR files to MP3 and use <audio>
to embed them.
