Answer 1

1. You can set this global yourself, but it's very ugly.
2. You can set it via SetEnv (see this blog :http://westsworld.dk/blog/2011/01/handle-different-environments-with-php/)
3. But, it's better to change your line with $_SERVER['*']

Why?

The description of an unit test is:

a small isolated test of your method

Your code will depend on globals! No! Use your request object for example to get the uri.
