Need help formatting backtrace

[eldan88]

Hey,

 

 I am trying to format back trace in a nice readable format, but I having troubles doing so. I  tried using print_r function but it is not working. Any suggestion on how to format backtrace?

 

Below is my code

   function a($arg) {
       b("Bob");   
      }
      
          function b($arg) {
          d('delta');
      }
      
      
      function d ($arg) {
          var_dump(debug_backtrace());
      }
      
      
  
     
      
      a('alpha')

What do you mean "it is not working"? Exactly what are you getting? The code you have above does exactly what I expect - it outputs the array returned from the debug_backtrace() function.

 

EDIT: If your issue is that the array output is not "pretty" then the issue is an HTML problem and not a PHP problem (and this is in the wrong forum). There are many options to make the output pretty. The most straightforward is putting it within PRE tags so white-space and line-breaks are rendered in the HTML display.

 

function d ($arg)
{
    echo "<pre>";
    var_dump(debug_backtrace());
    echo "</pre>";
}

 

Otherwise you can create your own code to loop through the array and format the output any way you want.
