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 ----------------------- [](#installation---composer) Phake can be installed using [Composer](https://github.com/composer/composer). 1. Add Phake as a dependency. ``` "require": { "phake/phake": "dev-master" } ``` 2. Run Composer: `php composer.phar install` or `php composer.phar update` Installation - PEAR ------------------- [](#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 Installation - Source --------------------- [](#installation---source) You can also of course install it from source by downloading it from our github repository: Links ----- [](#links) There are a few links that have information on how you can utilize Phake. - [Phake Documentation](http://phake.digitalsandwich.com/docs/html/) - [Phake Google Group](http://groups.google.com/group/phake-users) - [Initial Phake Announcement](http://digitalsandwich.com/archives/84-introducing-phake-mocking-framework.html) If you have an article or tutorial that you would like to share, feel free to open an [issue](https://github.com/mlively/Phake/issues) on github and I will add it to this list ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 79.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
