Gildedrose refactoring kata in php7

Requirements

PHP 7:

This is usually bundled with your operating system, or fetchable using a package manager like apt or homebrew.

Windows users can find the latest version here: https://windows.php.net/download#php-7.3

If you want to compile from source code, that can be found here: https://www.php.net/downloads.php

Composer:

Composer is PHP's main package and dependency management tool.

It can be downloaded here: https://getcomposer.org/download/

Getting Started

To begin the kata, install the dependencies and run phpunit:

cd php7
composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit

If the "install" command does not work, try running composer update instead. This will tell composer that it has permission to look for a newer version of its dependencies.

If things are still not cooperating, you can try this extreme approach:

composer remove phpunit/phpunit
composer require phpunit/phpunit

To exercise the code outside of phpunit, for example to visually confirm that it is working, use the texttest_fixture script:

php fixtures/texttest_fixture.php

Tips

PHPUnit has a very thorough reference manual. It would be particularly useful to explore the Data Providers section.
