I don't think it's possible to do it that way.. fatal errors are not catchable as i've understood it. You could use reflection to get the constructor method, and then make sure it has the access modifier "private".
If your php code throws a FATAL ERROR, it will never get to the phpunit, so you have to write "right" code in order to test it. If you call a private method, it will throw an excepcion, so it won't get to the phpunit. You have to change that.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
