A simple demo of running a scheduled PHP process on Heroku.

Clone this repo

 $ git clone https://github.com/ryanbrainard/php-scheduler-demo.git

Go in the dir
```
 $ cd php-scheduler-demo
```
Create the Heroku app with the buildpack set to a fork of the PHP buildpack that support the PHP CLI
```
 $ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/ryanbrainard/heroku-buildpack-php.git
```
Push the code to Heroku
```
 $ git push heroku master
```

Test the script by running it in a one-off worker dyno just to see it work before scheduling it

 $ heroku run php www/script.php
 Running `php www/script.php` attached to terminal... up, run.6599
 Current time: 1359943709

Add the Scheduler Add-on

 $ heroku addons:add scheduler:standard

Open the scheduler configuration page
```
 $ heroku addons:open scheduler
```
Add the script as a job. Same as one-off step above, but without the heroku run - Add job... - $ bin/php www/script.php

View the scheduled job running in the logs

 $ heroku logs
