[PHP] Is There a Stack Trace for Errors?
Hi Gang,
I'm now writing the dreaded support document for the code, and I need to
enhance my PHP to show error numbers so we can diagnose where it failed. All
fine so far, but I've found a couple of functions that can be called from
various other functions, so it's difficult to track where it came from.
So... Is there a 'printStackTrace()' type function in PHP like there is in
Java?
Hope that's clear!
Thanks
Richard

On seeing that the only way of doing this was to use frames I decided
that
the costs of doing this probably outweighed what is in effect a purely
cosmetic issue.
Never ever underestimate the cosmetic factor when you are talking
about Usability and search engines.
For example, if you are developing an ecommerce site - you have to think
about your users/customers.
In my testing and research, I have found that a large percentage of
users will not bookmark URLS that look like:
http://www.domain.com?id=1232subcat=32prodId=165412
They will, however, be more apt to bookmark URLS that look like:
http://www.domain.com/shirts/white/flanel_button_down/
Why are users more apt to bookmark the latter? They make sense to the
user.
If you want people to come back to your site, bookmark your pages, and
forward pages along to their friends... you gotta think like they do.
You have to use URLs that make sense to THEM - not you.
Search engine marketing is another factor to usable URLs.
Just my thoughts.

Maybe you would like to check out debug_bracktrace();

though wouldn't you say?!
Cheers
