calling function

[waylon999]

Hello,

 

I am going through some code for an app called knowledgetree, and I have found a function that I need to use.  I also need to see what function is calling this function.  The problem is that I cannot find anywhere that this function is getting called. I did a grep of the entire site and all that came up was the function definition.  I know it's being called because I added an echo and exit statement and they came up on the site.  I'm assuming that the function name is stored in the database, but I am really not sure.  I am wondering if there is some way to determine where a particular function is called from.  Is there some sort of function for this or can anyone think of a better way of figuring this out?

 

Thanks

You can try to:

 

echo __FILE__; ... in the function call, but that likely won't work. PHP will only be in a DB if it's being called via eval(), so look for eval() statements.

 

SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE some_content like '%function_name%'; to see if it's in the DB anywhere..
