RE: [PHP] backtracing of includes

Don't think that a option like this exists.

But maybe you should consider using 

include_once or 
require_once

Also before you define the function use the function_exist() and if the
function already exists don't redecleare it.

Subject: [PHP] backtracing of includes


Hy,
I would like to know if there is a way to get information on the include
hierarchy of files in php, especially to find out where which file is
included and trace back the line from some file until the first called
php file.

My special case here and now is that I get an error that some function
is already declared and cannot be declared again because of this.
I know i must have included the file with that function somewhere
already, but as i have lots of nested includes I have trouble right now
to find the place where ist already happens.
I know I can prevent those things in future by using things as
require_once and so on, and i can search through all the code, making
yself a map on paper to see which file includes what, but what i really
want to know is, if i can ask some function to tell me where the
function which makes the error stated above and from where the file is
included, and from where this file again is include, going as far back
until i have my first-called php file.



I hope you can understand what i mean,

henning

That's what I wrote - I know I can use things like that, but I am
curious if there are other ways to find out which file is included by
what and which function is defined in which file - i didn't find answers
about that in the manual.

Meanwhile I found out what the real problem was, namely that a function
was declared inside a function, and the parent function was called
twice, resulting in an error. I think it's generally not recommended to
declare functions inside functions as I see no obvious reason now when
this should be useful, only that it can make things complicated as i saw
right now.(btw: this code does not come from myself, i am just making
additions to it)

So, I am still curious if and how one can trace function definitions and
includes in a convenient way.

I'm not sure if there is anything built in that you can use, but you
probably should start with the:

__FILE__ and __LINE__

constants.  The __FILE__ constant is the name of the script file being
executed.  If it's in an include file, it will be the name of the include
file, not the parent file.  The __LINE__ is the current line within the file
(include).

HTH.
