Phactory is an alternative to using database fixtures in your PHP unit tests. Instead of maintaining a separate XML file of data, you define a blueprint for each table, and then create as many different objects as you need.

Phactory was inspired by Factory Girl.

Features

Define default values for your table rows once with Phactory::define(), then easily create objects in that table with a call to Phactory::create().
Create associations between your defined tables, and the objects will automatically be associated in the database upon creation.
Use sequences to create unique values for each successive object you create.

Database Support

MySQL
Sqlite
Postgresql

Language Support

PHP >= 5.3

Limitations

Each table must have a single integer primary key for associations to work.
