I am looking for a way to trace/show how php resolves method calls. I
don't know if this even exists. (I can't show the code as it exists
behind a firewall, but I can accurately describe the problem).
Class A has a require_once of class C.
Class B has a require_once of the same class C.
Class A invokes a method in class C in only one place. Before it calls
that method I have a debug print statement saying it is calling that method.
Class B invokes a method in class C in only one place. Before it calls
that method I have a debug print statement saying it is calling that method.
In Class C, in the method that is called, I put a debug print statement
saying it got there and is the first line in that method.
When I run the application that uses A, it says that it is calling the
method and also say that it got there.
When I run the application that uses B, it says that is calling the
method, but no echo of getting there appears.
No error messages appear in either case.
I can only assume that the method call is being resolved somewhere else,
somehow, in running application B because there is no error message of
not being able to resolve it, yet no echo appears of having gotten into
C. Yet, doing a grep over the entire codebase, I find only ONE place
where that method is defined and that is in class C.
So, I would like to know if there is a way to somehow trace this
application step by step or to print how it resolves the call. (How I
wish I had a php [command line] debugger now!)
These are not a web applications. They are invoked from the command line.
