Facebook/Heroku sample app -- PHP

This is a sample app showing use of the Facebook Graph API, written in PHP, designed for deployment to Heroku.

Run locally

Configure Apache with a VirtualHost that points to the location of this code checkout on your system.

Create an app on Facebook and set the Website URL to your local VirtualHost.

Copy the App ID and Secret from the Facebook app settings page into your VirtualHost config, something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /Users/adam/Sites/myapp
    ServerName myapp.localhost
    SetEnv FACEBOOK_APP_ID 12345
    SetEnv FACEBOOK_SECRET abcde
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache, and you should be able to visit your app at its local URL.

Deploy to Heroku via Facebook integration

The easiest way to deploy is to create an app on Facebook and click Cloud Services -> Get Started, then choose PHP from the dropdown. You can then git clone the resulting app from Heroku.
