FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

PHP Dummy Server: Simulate APIs for Easy Testing
The PHP Dummy Server is a library that allows you to create a mock server environment for testing applications that rely on external APIs or services. It simplifies testing by enabling you to define various responses (success, failure) and isolate your application from external dependencies.
Benefits:
Reliable Tests: Ensures tests fail only due to genuine bugs in your code, not external factors. Flexible Responses: Simulate different API responses (success, errors) for various test scenarios. Decoupled Development: Start development on your application even before the actual service is available. Isolated Teams: Allows development teams to work independently even if the real service is unstable. Simplified Debugging: Isolate issues during deployment and debugging by simulating specific services locally.
Getting Started
Installation
Install the library using Composer:
Configuration
Edit the server.php file:
Define the Data Directory: Set the PHP_DUMMY_SERVER_ROOT_DIR constant to specify the location for storing dummy server data (e.g., responses).
Run the Server
Start the server using the following command in your terminal:
Defining Responses
Create a folder named dummy-data in the root directory specified in configuration.
Inside the dummy-data folder, create JSON files to define response data for different scenarios.\
Supported HTTP Methods:
- GET: Retrieves the data from the corresponding JSON file.
- POST: Creates a new JSON file with a unique identifier based on the request data.
- PUT: Updates the existing JSON file with the request data.
- DELETE: Deletes the existing JSON file.
Example: Defining a Response for a GET Request.
Create a file named 1.json inside the dummy-data/user folder with the following content:
Now, any GET request to http://localhost:8000/user/1 will return the data from the 1.json file.
Additional Notes:
- The server ignores empty files.
