[FIXED] Phpunit: replace class with mock

Issue

Is it possible to replace some class instantiation with the mock one so that when I call new SomeClass() the mock one is created with specified mocked behavior?

Solution

It is highly not recommended but possible, take a look at links bellow

It's better to use Dependency Injection (simply, it means injecting instances as arguments to function instead of creating them inside the function). As a result you will be able easily to mock that argument while testing. You can google about other pros of DI, but here a few links for you: answer on SO, DI and phpunit
