Alternartive to debug line by line?

[knut_dyb]

Hi guys and gals,

 

I've been developing for years - and I guess I've always had the 'luxury'  of  writing things more or less from

scratch - or using well documented frameworks....

 

Now, I have inherited a project of more than 400 php files, with includes going here, there and everywhere.

My simple question is this;

What would you recommend as the fastest, simplest way to get a 'code flow' dump of the code executes

as I move through the site?

 

In the old, dark days of yesteryears, a simple xref at compile time would / could give me a list of the code

executed... Sometime I wish for those days...  :-\

 

Any ideas anyone?

 

Thx,

Knut

While continuous integration tools can help put profiling information into context, you probably want to start with the actual profiler / debuger they use.

Hi Neil & Thorpe,

 

Thx guys - xdebug I know about - still getting to grips with it. 

 

Cruisecontrol looks interesting - I'll have a crack over the weekend.

 

Thx again.

CruiseControl is pretty much just an application for displaying information created during the different stages of your build process. eg; Unit test results, code coverage & documentation.
