From: RQuadling at GMail dot com Operating system: n/a PHP version: 5.3.0alpha1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Include parameter name in debug_backtrace
Description: ------------ The debug_backtrace() provides very useful information when debugging. Could it be possible to extend the args element within the trace so that rather than just the index of the argument being shown, show the actual text that was used? Either as a key to the args array or as a new array which could be array_combined in userland. Whilst the file and line values help in getting the code that made the call, if the call is over many lines ... fn( var1, // comments var2, // comments var3 // comments ); sort of thing, then the line number is the end of the call. The output below shows line 15 which is ... ); Not a lot of use and using regex with all the potential of unmatched ) etc. is a pain. Thanks for looking if you do. Richard Quadling. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function fn() { print_r(debug_backtrace()); } $a_Sites = array ( 'Web' => 'www.php.net', 'Docs' => 'docs.php.net', 'Wiki' => 'wiki.php.net', ); fn ( $a_Sites ); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\dbt.php [line] => 13 [function] => fn [args] => Array ( [$a_Sites] => Array ( [Web] => www.php.net [Docs] => docs.php.net [Wiki] => wiki.php.net ) ) ) ) or Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\dbt.php [line] => 15 [function] => fn [args] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Web] => www.php.net [Docs] => docs.php.net [Wiki] => wiki.php.net ) ) [params] => Array ( [0] => $a_Sites ) ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\dbt.php [line] => 15 [function] => fn [args] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Web] => www.php.net [Docs] => docs.php.net [Wiki] => wiki.php.net ) ) ) ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45736&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45736&r=mysqlcfg
