README
Phake is a framework for PHP that aims to provide mock objects, test doubles and method stubs.
Phake was inspired by a lack of flexibility and ease of use in the current mocking frameworks combined with a recent experience with Mockito for Java.
A key conceptual difference in mocking between Phake and most of php mocking frameworks (ie: mock functionality in PHPUnit, PHPMock, and mock functionality in SimpleTest) is that Phake (like Mockito) employs a verification strategy to ensure that calls get made. That is to say, you call your code as normal and then after you have finished the code being tested you can verify whether or not expected methods were called. This is very different from the aforementioned products for php which use an expectation strategy where you lay out your expectations prior to any calls being made.
Installation - Composer
Phake can be installed using Composer.
- Add Phake as a dependency.
"require": { "phake/phake": "dev-master" }

Installation - PEAR
Phake can be installed using PEAR via the Digital Sandwich PEAR channel
This pear channel can be added to PEAR with the following command:
pear channel-discover pear.digitalsandwich.com
You should only need to do that once. After this you can install Phake with the following command
pear install digitalsandwich/Phake
After the installation you can find the Phake source files inside your local PEAR directory
