Stub PHP native methods

Question

In my unit test, i'm looking to stub the behaviour of php's inbuilt file_get_contents() method.

Is there a way to stub native methods in PHP (such as file_get_contents() or print_r()) and the likes?

Answer 1

If by "stub" you mean replace, there is a PHP override_function function; it's part of PECL though. You can also rename them.
