It may seem silly, hope not, but I want to create a service that will return mock objects for people that uses my project so they can mock all the classes from my project and test their code.
My idea was to offer this kind of service so it can be called inside other project's test cases and obtain the appropriate mock for each test.
Is that possible? Or there are other ways to do that. Btw, I can't use any mocking library because of project's limitations.

PHPUnit provides methods that are used to automatically create objects that will replace the original object in our test. createMock($type) and getMockBuilder($type) methods are used to create mock object. The createMock method immediately returns a mock object of the specified type.
Mocks verify the behavior of the code you're testing, also known as the system under test. Mocks should be used when you want to test the order in which functions are called. Stubs verify the state of the system under test.
Yes, it is possible. Under the hood the getMock method uses the PHPUnit_Framework_MockObject_Generator class. So you can use it directly:
PHPUnit_Framework_MockObject_Generator::getMock($originalClassName, $methods)
But you will lose all the expectation shortcuts like $this->once(). You will have to instantiate the expectations on your own:
$mock->expects(\PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase::once())
Look at the PHPUnit source code to see how the mocks are build
