This git repository helps you to send emails quickly and easily through SendGrid on OpenShift using PHP.
Create an SendGrid account at http://sendgrid.com/pricing.html
Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/ and set up you local machine with the client tools.
Create a php-5.3 application (you can call your application whatever you want)
rhc app create -a sendgrid -t php-5.3 --from-code git://github.com/sendgrid/openshift-sendgrid-php.git
If --from-code is not recognized, update your rhc gem.
Application code will be in sendgrid (or whatever you named your application).
Create custom environment variables in OpenShift

Set username and password based on what you used to sign up for a SendGrid account and use the application name used to create your app.
