Faker

Faker is a PHP port of a Ruby port of Data::Faker from Perl.

It's a convoluted path, but you're the beneficiary of a simple way to generate fake data for your PHP 5.3 project.

INSTALLATION

$ composer require bobthecow/faker:dev-master

Usage is fairly straightforward:

echo \Faker\Name::name();    // "Leeroy Jenkins"
