Deploy php Website on Heroku and Configure the ClearDB With MySQL Workbench

 

Heroku is a cloud platform that allows you to quickly deploy your website without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Heroku’s ClearDB add-on will enable you to easily connect to a MySQL database without having to manually configure database settings or create database users. Using MySQL Workbench, you can easily create a database and configure it to work with Heroku’s ClearDB. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to deploy a PHP website on Heroku and configure the ClearDB with MySQL Workbench. First, create a Heroku account and install the Heroku CLI. Then, create the necessary files for your application, such as index.php and Procfile. Next, add the ClearDB add-on to your Heroku app. This will create a database URL that you will need to use to connect to the database. Once you have the database URL, launch MySQL Workbench and create a new database connection. Enter the database URL and credentials, as well as other settings such as the database name. Create the necessary database tables using MySQL Workbench.
