What is DeepTrace?

DeepTrace is a small and neat extension for different low level things in PHP. You can:

• Catch calls to exit() or die()
• Remove, rename and redefine constants, classes, functions and methods
• Alter the values of static variables inside functions and methods
• Set the title of the PHP process
• Switch between HTML and text-only output of phpinfo()
• Remove includes, making them includable again via include_once()

How to install

Just run a few easy steps. First, download the source and unpack it somewhere. After that, run the following commands:

phpize

./configure

sudo make

sudo make install

Now add the following entry into your php.ini:

zend_extension=DeepTrace.so

Got a problem? If you can't find a solution on the world wide web, don't hesitate to contact us. :-)

Important: DeepTrace is a zend extension, so do not use extension=DeepTrace.so!

Documentation?!? I can't find anything! HELP!

No problem. There are lots of tests in the tests/ directory. The tests show you many examples for using DeepTrace.

I want to include that library in my project

That is not a problem for us, but there are a few restrictions:

• If you change some code, you MUST give the chances back
• We would be glad if you inform us
• You must not remove any copyrights or license information

If you want to include the library in a compiled form, ask us via pmathis@snapserv.net - We won't bite, we'd just like to know who is using DeepTrace :)

There is something missing!

In case you have a great idea for a new feature in DeepTrace, tell us about it and we'll see what we can do. :)
