Test doubles
Prophecy is a framework for creating test doubles that was initially built for the requirements of phpspec, but it can be used with any other PHP testing framework. Since PHPUnit 4.5 it bundles Prophecy within PHPUnit itself, but as of PHPUnit 9.x this bundling is deprecated and set to be removed in PHPUnit 10.

Testing with immutable PSR-7 objects and Prophecy
Recently I have been working a lot with PSR-15 and PSR-18 and one of the characteristics of these recommendations is that it uses the immutable objects specified in PSR-7. Soon after we introduced PSR-18 in our codebase a colleague implemented a client including a unit test that was passing. And yet the code was failing when run in the browser. The cause of this was that the fact that RequestInterface objects are immutable by specification was overlooked. Due to the use of Prophecy and prophesized objects we were struggling to properly test it. Until another colleague introduced me to Argument::that() that is.

need `ftell()` to return false for unittest
If you remove the \ from ftell($resource), you will be able to mock in in your unit tests. I created a mock function of it using a package called PHPMock. My unit test ended up looking like something like this:
