Question

I’m trying to override the setcookie implementation using the test_helpers PECL extension without any luck.

    $username = 'test';
    set_setcookie_overload(function() { error_log('setcookie called'); return FALSE; });
    setcookie('username', $userName, time()+60*60*24*365, '/');
    unset_setcookie_overload();

I get this error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function set_setcookie_overload()

I verified that the extension is working well with the example here: https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/php-test-helpers

Thanks.

Update: For further clarification, it sounds like the test_helpers extension allows to override in-built PHP functions like setcookie. In the link above, the author has provided an example to override the exit method using set_exit_overload(). I’m trying to do the same for setcookie() using set_setcookie_overload() without any luck.

The functions that are available in can be found in the source over at github. Everything starting with PHP_FUNCTION is exposed to the user to call.

So yeah. There just is no set_setcookie_overload() in php-test-helpers. You have to find another workaround.

Sadly rename_function can’t help you either as it doesn’t work with internal functions.
