I don't have a 100% working suggestion off hand, but perhaps this old
article about reflecting/introspecting PHP code will help -
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2007/04/26/code-as-data-reflection-in-php.html
. In addition, perhaps writing something using a PHP parser will work.

Mapping a (lagcy) PHP application

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Hello everyone,

I inherited a legacy application/code which was originally written in PHP4,
and letter on was "upgraded" to PHP5.

the code is (mostly) a collection of individual pages which are stitched
some how together to form a working web-application.

the code base is quite big and I'm looking for a tool which can create some
sort of a (visual) work-flow view of the code, just so I could get a
overview of the application.

I googled a bit and found a tool called phpCallGraph which won't run and it
seems is not minted any more.

Some one on stackoverflow

suggested to use xdebug profiling option and visualize the result with
KCacheGrind, but it didn't give me what is hopping for - a workflow.

Do anyone have any suggestion for a tool which can help me to get a
work-flow for the application ?

Thanks in advance
