cleaner way of debugging

am 14.08.2007 00:25:48 von laredotornado

Hi,

I'm using PHP 4.4.4 witih Apache 2 on Linux. I sadly do not have
control over my hosting environment and cannot upgrade the setup. I
recently discovered the debug_backtrace() statement. However, when I
run the command,

print_r(debug_backtrace());

what is printed out is a mess. See below. Does anyone have a cleaner
way of printing out stack traces?

Thanks, - Dave

Well, surrounding it with

 tags would help.

debug_print_backtrace() (officially PHP5) could also help you, it's in =

PEAR::PHP_Compat.

For really thorough debugging info I'd recommend the xdebug extentiont.
