Heroku Buildpack PHP for Confection

This is the official Heroku buildpack for PHP applications with adjustments used by Confection

It uses Composer for dependency management, supports PHP or HHVM (experimental) as runtimes, and offers a choice of Apache2 or Nginx web servers.

Usage

1. On your app.json you will need to add this repo git address as a buildpack
2. You may need to edit the file bin/snowflake.sh and adjust the extension folder address of your setup. phpinfo() or php -i | grep 'PHP API' will tell you the correct folder name, which is the PHP API version. The current version is set for PHP 8.0.

Updating PHP Buildpack

1. Add the original repo as "upstream": git remote add upstream https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php.git
2. Fetch all branches of remote upstream git fetch upstream
3. Rewrite your master with latest tag version
4. Squash master from upstream into current one git reset --soft upstream/main git commit -m "new version" git push -f
5. Sync changes to retrieve the new data. Check if bin/snowflake.sh is in place. If PHP version changed, need to change the extension name dir to reflect the PHP API version. You may retrieve the PHP API version with the command php -i | grep 'PHP API'
6. Add the following code to bin/compile just above the row status "Preparing runtime environment..." # snowflake source $bp_dir/bin/snowflake.sh
7. Add the following lines to conf/php/php.ini extension=pdo_snowflake.so pdo_snowflake.cacert=cacert.pem
8. Update conf/php/cacert.pem with content from https://github.com/gisle/mozilla-ca/blob/master/lib/Mozilla/CA/cacert.pem
9. Commit and push to main
