fzaninotto/Faker ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a PHP library that generates fake data for testing and seeding databases.

I want it to make realistic looking names, addresses, phone numbers, company details, dates, internet info, colors, images, UUIDs, barcodes, and random text, so I can quickly fill sample records or anonymize production data. It should be easy to use with a simple factory call, then let me ask for values like name, address, text, and other common fields. It should also support different locales, repeatable results when I set a seed, and custom providers so I can add my own fake data types.

Please include good examples and tests, and make sure it works cleanly with Composer autoloading. If you need to check any modern PHP compatibility details or current docs, look them up online first.
