The AppFog PHP Jumpstart is a sample application that can be used to get started quickly with a new PHP web application on AppFog.
To get started, copy the contents of this repo to a new source code repository that you have edit privileges to. Clone that repository and login to AppFog. To deploy the application, run the following from the top-level project directory:
$ cf push
Since the manifest.yml file sets the name of the application to ${random-word}, the name of the application will be generated during the deployment process. Here is example output of the application deployment using cf push:
cf push

Once the application is running, copy the value for urls:, in the case above ascitic-flavopurpurin.useast.appfog.ctl.io, and go to that URL in a browser. You should see a page that looks like:
- Web page:
public/index.html. - Application Controller:
index.php.
A very useful read is here. This will give you an overview of the general process used to deploy PHP applications to AppFog.
As a start point, you can modify the file index.php as needed.
There is a lot of information and tutorials on the internet to learn PHP. The place to start is here.
