PHP Surrey

Huzzah you found the repo for the site!

Getting it up and running locally

Clone this repo, point your terminal to the project location are follow the next steps :)

Installing dependencies

All PHP depencies are managed using composer & the browser assets are managed using Bower, so assuming you have that installed just run:

composer install
bower install

Starting the server

I built this version of the site using PHP 5.4's built in server, so in two terminal tabs run:

php -S localhost:8080 -t web web/index.php
sass -w web/stylesheets/main.scss

Alternatively, if copy .env.example to .env you can start using foreman.

foreman start -f Procfile_dev

From here you should be able to visit http://localhost:8080/ and see the site.

Deploying

Hopefully the setup should just be a matter of dropping the repo on a server and pointing your chosen configuration to the /web/index.php file.

You may also want to precomile the CSS with

sass web/stylesheets/main.scss --style compressed > web/stylesheets/main.css

Deploying to Heroku

Fresh run

Create you Heroku project & set the build pack:

heroku create phpsurrey --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-php

Normal deploy

Just push to heroku :)
