Heroku PHP and Node.js in the same app

Question

I'm using a Node package called exec-php to execute PHP functions within Node.js app.

I would like to push that app to Heroku, but I'm wondering how to make that, and how that would be in the PHP bin locally.

I'm using /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/bin/php. What would be the path to PHP bin in Heroku?

I tested vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 but it doesn't work, so what would be the path to PHP binary in Heroku?

You'll need to inform the build API that you'd like to use multiple buildpacks. Try:

$ heroku buildpacks:clear $ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/php $ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs 

Then you can inspect the compiled slug via heroku run bash to verify that the bins are where you expect them to be.
