Question

In PHP, get_included_files() returns an array with the names of included files.

In a similar fashion, is there any way to get an array with the names of called functions with parameters?

Answer 1

I was trying to achieve what you want and finally came up with an reasonable solution.

Make a class named Debug and include that above every file you want to debug in. Build yourself a function that prints nicely the information stored in $calls.

class Debug {
    private static $calls;

    public static function log($message = null)
    {
        if(!is_array(self::$calls))
            self::$calls = array();

        $call = debug_backtrace(false);
        $call = (isset($call[1]))?$call[1]:$call[0];

        $call['message'] = $message;
        array_push(self::$calls, $call);
    }
}

Call this function everytime you declare a function first line in the functionbody: Debug::log($message(optional) )
