Faker

Faker is a PHP library designed to generate fake data. It can create fake data by accessing properties named after the type of data you want. Faker’s generators have several packaged generator properties, known as formatters. These bundled formatters can be found in the default locale, and include person, address, phone number, company, date-time and more. Faker is also capable of localization, taking a locale as an argument and returning localized data. It can also populate entities using an ORM or an ODM, and features language-specific formatters as well.

If you need to bootstrap your database, fill-in your persistence for stress testing, or anonymize data taken from a production service, Faker is a great choice for you.
