Product manager for the languages here at Heroku. You could absolutely deploy PHP on Heroku via buildpacks before as you can many other languages such as Go, Bash, etc. This support however makes it much more of a first class citizen working out of the box. Further the richness of this support with Composer for dependencies, HHVM, and proper support channels is fundamentally different than manually finding a buildpack to work for your needs.
- camus2 13y agoThe issue i think is managing PHP native extensions deployement. Even if i require a package through Composer, there is no guarantee i'll have the proper native extension installed(think mongodb ,intl,apc...),w hereas with ruby or node,their respective package managers actually install all packages,including C/C++ ones. How will you manage that in PHP?
