Great tip by Mattias: TIL: you can fake package versions in composer using the "as" alias.

$ composer require roave/security-advisories:dev-master $ # following commands will fail: $ composer require symfony/symfony:2.5.2 $ composer require zendframework/zendframework:2.3.1 This package ensures that your PHP application doesn’t have installed dependencies with known security vulnerabilities.

Good news from Heroku: PHP is (finally) properly supported. Just add a composer.json file to your repo and Heroku will know your app runs PHP. Yes, you see that right: Composer is supported. Whenever you push your code to Heroku, it will install the dependencies if needed. $ git add . $ git commit -m …
