Add php support pretty please
1 comments

Why would one need this for PHP? Isn't PHP already pretty much upload and go?
You would want it for the same reason you would want it for any other language.

"upload and go" is a convenience feature of Heroku, not it's reason for existence. It does make it easier to deploy Ruby apps but, again, it's not the reason it exists.

What is the reason for it then? Scaling? But you still have to work on those nasty sql queries. Too bad it doesn't support any nosql database.
Rails is as upload and go as php with apache or nginx + mod_rails.
Something that scales, inexpensive, and with out the hassles of system admin that is required with ec2, slicehost, rackspace cloud, and other cloud sites.
