In the end, I found it by grepping for VisitorMessaging instead of vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging. It turns out that there is an array of the vB_ProfileBlock_* classes and they are called by vB_ProfileBlock_$className. I personally consider that terrible coding practice, but then again if vBulletin were well-coded then I would probably be made redundant so I cannot complain!

Btw, ignore my earlier reply. I thought the task was to find where the class was defined. -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Can you not put a debug_print_backtrace() in the class constructor? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No other package directly installs in php include paths. OP should try this: grep -ir 'class vb_profileblock' -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How to find where class is used?
it will be somewhere in php's search path. you'd be better off trying search for a file of the same name. cd /usr/lib/php5 find . -iname "vB_ProfileBlock*" if you have locate installed, try: "locate vB_ProfileBlock" Cheers, Curtis On 1/6/2012 6:11 AM, Dotan Cohen wrote: In a large application that I am tasked with maintaining (vBulletin) there is a particular class that is used: vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging.

[PHP] How to find where class is used?
In a large application that I am tasked with maintaining (vBulletin) there is a particular class that is used: vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging. I know the file that it is defined in, but I cannot find the file that actually creates a vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging object. I tried the brute-force grep approach, but the only place where I see the class mentioned is in the class declaration itself: [dev@localhost forum]$ grep -ir "vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging" * includes/class_profileblock.php:class vB_ProfileBlock_VisitorMessaging extends vB_ProfileBlock I know that this class is used as there is a page that is obviously using it. I have tried playing be-the-PHP-parser with that file, but it goes on to include() about a dozen other files, each of which include() another dozen files!
