Using Eclipse to see where a function was called or class used

I am using Eclipse with PHP and I am trying to trace back the calls functions and instantiations of classes to see why a certain piece of code was used.

The Eclipse interface is a bit cluttered. How do I see the function call trace? Is that possible to do?

Thanks, Alex

What you probably want is the Parameter stack, found in Show view under PHP Tools and Parameter stack.

This post of me can't be actually a solution but just wanted to share.

In addition to what's already answered (which enables call trace during runtime), PHP plugin of Eclipse called PDT has a feature called Call Hierarchy. However, it looks like this feature has not been implemented as of the latest version 3.1.

This is why I said my post isn't an answer, but I'm hoping that spreading the words like this would motivate the PDT enter code hereplugin developers.

A possibily good solution would be to use a debugger, in step-by-step mode -- or by setting a breakpoint where you want to see the call-trace.

This will allow you to see variables and the call trace / history -- and, also, to go line by line into your source-code's execution.

About debugging and Eclipse, the following question + answers should be able to help : Good Free PHP debugger?
