Now there's even more reason to be using Apache-Test to test PHP applications:

• Apache-Test for the php CLI

From Geoff's blog:

today I added the ability to run client-side PHP scripts to Apache-Test. so, now you can have

t/foo.t
t/bar.php
t/response/TestPHP/baz.php

all within the same t/ directory.

the perl script t/foo.t will run using perl, just like always. t/bar.php will run using the php command-line interpreter, while t/response/TestPHP/baz.php will run via PHP within the Apache runtime (through standard Apache-Test magic). and all are executed with a simple make test and tabulated on the command line like you would expect.

Geoff also provides an example t/foo.php:

<?php 
 
require 'test-more.php'; 
 
plan(1); 
 
diag('this is a php test'); 
 
is('php', 'perl', 'something php passed'); 
 
?>

This is a really great testing framework for PHP that I hope keeps getting more and more attention.
