# Deploying a PHP and MySQL Website to Heroku
A basic example of deploying a PHP and MySQL website to Heroku.
## Heroku
First we need to setup our Heroku app and database.
> [!Note]
> Thes steps assume you have a [Heroku account](https://signup.heroku.com/) and the [Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli) installed.
1. Using the Terminan, navigate to your project. This project should already be a Git repository. Type `git status` just to confirm.
2. Using the Terminal log in to your Heroku account:
```sh
heroku login
```
3. Create a new Heroku app:
```sh
heroku create
```
> [!Note]
> You can change the name of the app in your [Heroku dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/).
4. Change the orign if needed:
```sh
git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/heroku-deploy-php-mysql.git
```
5. You can sue the browser to create a free ClearDB MySQL database:
Or you can use the Terminal:
```sh
heroku addons:create cleardb:ignite
```
6. Using your terminal retrieve your connection string:
```sh
heroku config | grep CLEARDB
```
This will return a string that contains your database name, username, passowrd, and host:
```sh
mysql://:@/?reconnect=true
```
Extract these four values and use the Terminal to set them as environment variables:
```sh
heroku config:set DB_USER=
heroku config:set DB_USER_PASSWORD=
heroku config:set DB_HOST=
heroku config:set DB=
```
Then you can confirm these have been set properly:
```sh
heroku config
```
