debug_print_backtrace
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8) debug_print_backtrace —
Prints a backtrace
Description
function debug_print_backtrace( int $options = 0, int $limit = 0): void
debug_print_backtrace() prints a PHP backtrace. It
prints the function calls, included/required files and
eval()ed stuff.
Parameters
options-
This parameter is a bitmask for the following options:
debug_print_backtrace() options
| DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS |
Whether or not to omit the "args" index, and thus all the function/method arguments,
to save memory.
|
| DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT |
Accepted for compatibility with debug_backtrace(),
but has no effect: the generated backtrace is rendered as a string
and the "object" entry is never printed.
|
limit-
This parameter can be used to limit the number of stack frames printed.
By default (limit=0) it prints all stack frames.
Return Values
No value is returned.
Examples
Example #1 debug_print_backtrace() example
<?php
// include.php file
function a() {
b();
}
function b() {
c();
}
function c(){
debug_print_backtrace();
}
a();
?>
<?php
// test.php file
// this is the file you should run
include 'include.php';
?>
The above example will output
something similar to:
#0 c() called at [/tmp/include.php:10]
#1 b() called at [/tmp/include.php:6]
#2 a() called at [/tmp/include.php:17]
#3 include(/tmp/include.php) called at [/tmp/test.php:3]

Another way to manipulate and print a backtrace, without using output buffering:
<?php
// print backtrace, getting rid of repeated absolute path on each file
$e = new Exception();
print_r(str_replace('/path/to/code/', '', $e->getTraceAsString()));
?>

If you see string arguments and parameters getting cut off like this:
#0 hook.php(324): output_notice('checkout_before...')
#1 hook.php(348): invoke_hook('checkout_before...', Array)
You can increase the maximum length of arguments and parameters in the printed trace through an PHP INI setting:
<?php
ini_set('zend.exception_string_param_max_len', 100);
debug_print_backtrace();
?>
…so you can read the full arguments:
#0 hook.php(324): output_notice('checkout_before_payment')
#1 hook.php(348): invoke_hook('checkout_before_payment', Array)
In edge cases, it might even uncover nested traces that you didn't notice before.

I like the output of debug_print_backtrace() but I sometimes want it as a string.
bortuzar's solution to use output buffering is great, but I'd like to factorize that into a function. Doing that however always results in whatever function name I use appearing at the top of the stack which is redundant.
Below is my noddy (simple) solution. If you don't care for renumbering the call stack, omit the second preg_replace().
<?php
function debug_string_backtrace() {
ob_start();
debug_print_backtrace();
$trace = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
// Remove first item from backtrace as it's this function which
// is redundant.
$trace = preg_replace ('/^#0\s+' . __FUNCTION__ . "[^\n]*\n/", '', $trace, 1);
// Renumber backtrace items.
$trace = preg_replace ('/^#(\d+)/me', '\'#\' . ($1 - 1)', $trace);
return $trace;
}
?>

If your show your error messages in HTML (with suitable safety using entities), this function won't work nicely because it uses newlines for formatting.
Here is a function that works similarly, but using <BR> tags. Insert it near the beginning of your program to add a stack to Warning output only, or modify it as you like:
// Here is code for error stack output in HTML:
function error_handler_callback($errno,$message,$file,$line,$context)
{
if ($errno === E_WARNING)
echo "Stack, innermost first:<br>".nl2br((new Exception())->getTraceAsString());
return false; // to execute the regular error handler
}
set_error_handler("error_handler_callback");
