# PHP APM with Heroku

This document details how to install the **Java APM Profiler** in your **PHP** application running on **Heroku**.

## PHP Application Setup

### Add Buildpack

```
heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/stackify/heroku-buildpack-stackify.git
```

          
          

Ensure that the **Stackify Buildpack** is installed after the base php buildpack.

### Configure Buildpack

```
heroku config:set STACKIFY_KEY="XXXXXXXXXX"
heroku config:set STACKIFY_APPLICATION_NAME="My Application" 
heroku config:set STACKIFY_ENVIRONMENT_NAME="Production"
```

Set `STACKIFY_KEY` to your **Stackify Activation Key**.

## Verify

Deploy changes to Heroku and make requests. You can then verify results in the Retrace dashboard.
