<phpunit>
  <testsuite name="My Test Suite">
    <directory>/path/to/*Test.php files</directory>
    <file>/path/to/MyTest.php</file>
  </testsuite>
</phpunit>

<phpunit>
  <groups>

</phpunit>

The XML configuration above corresponds to invoking the TextUI test runner with the following arguments:

...

<phpunit>
  <filter>
    <blacklist>
      <directory suffix=".php">/path/to/files</directory>
      <file>/path/to/file</file>
      <exclude>
        <directory suffix=".php">/path/to/files</directory>
        <file>/path/to/file</file>
      </exclude>
    </blacklist>
    <whitelist>
      <directory suffix=".php">/path/to/files</directory>
      <file>/path/to/file</file>
      <exclude>
        <directory suffix=".php">/path/to/files</directory>
        <file>/path/to/file</file>
      </exclude>
    </whitelist>
  </filter>
</phpunit>

The XML configuration above corresponds to using the PHPUnit_Util_Filter class as follows:

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::addDirectoryToFilter(
  '/path/to/files', '.php'
);

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::addFileToFilter('/path/to/file');

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::removeDirectoryFromFilter(
  '/path/to/files', '.php'
);

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::removeFileFromFilter('/path/to/file');

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::addDirectoryToWhitelist(
  '/path/to/files', '.php'
);

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::addFileToWhitelist('/path/to/file');

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::removeDirectoryFromWhitelist(
  '/path/to/files', '.php'
);

PHPUnit_Util_Filter::removeFileFromWhitelist('/path/to/file');

The XML configuration above corresponds to invoking the TextUI test runner with the following arguments:

...

<phpunit>
  <php>
    <ini name="foo" value="bar"/>
    <var name="foo" value="bar"/>

The XML configuration above corresponds to the following PHP code:

ini_set('foo', 'bar');
$GLOBALS['foo'] = 'bar';
