Don't bother installing Mink... you're asking for heartache.

Use (facebook) php-webdriver.

PHP: Locate installation Directory

• https://serverfault.com/questions/58346/how-to-determine-which-php-is-being-used

php --ini

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

<?php
// prints e.g. 'Current PHP version: 4.1.1'
echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion();
?>

If you are using the PHP CLI, then try using theese shell commands (i'm assuming that you are using linux here)

which php - will locate the php executable (this should be the default php used by you)
whereis php - The first path displayed will be the location of the php executable
echo $PATH - will print a list of paths separated by ":" where the system looks for commands

composer.json

composer.phar

• Mink is probably a great tool for basic websites that don't implement a heavy back-end system.
• Mink COULD be a winner IF
  • migrates to selenium3 webdriver
  • exposes the entire selenium3 api
  • provides a means to send XPATH directly to selenium api
    • currently catches, parses, translates, THEN sends to api
  • provides a means to send CSS directly to selenium api
    • currently catches, parses, translates, THEN sends to api

Behat front end is a solid Cucumber BDD Engine

• Still requires a sensible & well-designed test framework to hook into
• Design the framework around PHPUnit
• Use Behat to provide BDD translation for feature files
• BDD isn't test...
