how to unit test curl call in php

Question

How would you go about unit testing a curl implementation?

  public function get() {
    $ch = curl_init($this->request->getUrl());

    curl_setopt($c         


        

Answer 1

Do not use curl directly but through a wrapper like PEAR's HTTP_Request2. With it, you have the ability to exchange the curl driver with a mock driver - ideal for unit tests.
