How to have multiple test environments with different configurations?

I have a Symfony 2 application, which uses a REST interace. I want to execute integrations tests with different environments. The tests should be executed:

How can I specify, which test environment is executed? Currently I start tests using

phpunit -c app/

from within the application folder. However I dont want to duplicate the app folder.

Update

Specifically I have a REST service, which is responsible for doint REST calls, let's call it RestBase. At some point it builds up a URL like: $urlPrefix.$restPath. $urlPrefix is different for dev, stage, prod environments. Currently this configuration is done in config_*.yml. However I want to run tests against different urlPrefix. Conceptually I want to have something like:

phpunit -c app/ **-env=test**

where urlPrefix is http://localhost:8888 and

phpunit -c app/ **-env=test2**

runs against another another environment, with a different setting for urlPrefix.

Summarized question

How to execute tests in another environment than test, e.g. test2 (and not change this programmatically)?

I ended up writing a custom bootstrap.php as it is described here: http://php-and-symfony.matthiasnoback.nl/2011/10/symfony2-use-a-bootstrap-file-for-your-phpunit-tests-and-run-some-console-commands/

I then start the configuration using:

phpunit -c app/mockup.phpunit.php

To run tests against the real interface using:

phpunit -c app/

So you are functional testing you REST api using phpunit.

Symfony2 already provides a way to bypass front controllers by directy calling your http Kernel.

All you have to do is to extend the WebTestCase class (inheriting itself from Phpunit Test_Case): 

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Test\WebTestCase;

class MyControllerTest extends WebTestCase
{
public function testGET()
{
    // Create a new client to browse the application
    $client = static::createClient();

    $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/api/v1/test');
    $this->assertTrue(200 === $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
}
}
