I need to check if a variable is an object of the User type. User is my class $user my object

$this->assertInstanceOf($user,User);

This is not working, I have a use of undefined constant User - assumed 'User'

Thanks in advance for your help

I think you are using this function wrong. Try:

$this->assertInstanceOf('User', $user);
