How can a PHP framework handle the creation and management of dependencies between objects to ensure flexibility and testability?

To handle the creation and management of dependencies between objects in a PHP framework, we can use a dependency injection container. This container can be responsible for instantiating objects and injecting their dependencies, allowing for flexibility and testability by easily swapping out dependencies or mocking them for testing purposes. 

// Example of using a dependency injection container in a PHP framework

class Container {
    private $dependencies = [];

    public function register($key, $value) {
        $this->dependencies[$key] = $value;
    }

    public function resolve($key) {
        if (isset($this->dependencies[$key])) {
            return $this->dependencies[$key];
        }

        return null;
    }
}

// Usage
$container = new Container();

$container->register('db', new Database());
$container->register('logger', new Logger());

$db = $container->resolve('db');
$logger = $container->resolve('logger');
