I want to use Xdebug to profile a single php file. From Xdebug documentation, it is said

Profiling is enabled by setting the xdebug.profiler_enable setting to 1 in php.ini. This instructs Xdebug to start writing profiling information into the dump directory configured with the xdebug.profiler_output_dir directive.

I tried but Xdebug will generate so many profile logs. I have no testing environment but only could use production server. I want to know is there any way to set just testing one page?

Any suggestions to do this?

Finally I choose facebook / xhprof as my production server profiler. I use xhprof_html everyday now. It save a lot of time and very easy to use, especially the Full Callgraph view.

    Use the trigger http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#profiler_enable_trigger and add it to your url. i.e. http://example.com/mypage.php?XDEBUG_PROFILE=1

    Also, XHProf is preferred over XDebug when profiling on production: https://github.com/facebook/xhprof
