"how to run phpunit from a php script?" Code Answer

if you reference the fixtures chapter in the phpunit documentation, it tells you about setup() and teardown().

phpunit supports sharing the setup code. before a test method is run, a template method called setup() is invoked. setup() is where you create the objects against which you will test. once the test method has finished running, whether it succeeded or failed, another template method called teardown() is invoked. teardown() is where you clean up the objects against which you tested.

this is basically a way of bootstrapping your application prior to running the tests in the test class.

class testmyscript
{
    private $myapp = null;

    public function setup()
    {
       $this->myapp = new my_application;
       $this->myapp->bootstrap();
    }

    public function testismyappinitialized()
    {
       $this->assertnotnull($this->myapp);      
    }
}
