A better PHP backtrace
To get the backtrace in PHP you can use the debug_backtrace
function. By default, it can be hard to work with. The
reported function name for a frame is skewed: it belongs to the previous frame. Also, options need to be passed using a bitmask.
This package provides a better way than debug_backtrace
to work with a back trace. Here's an example:
// returns an array with `Spatie\Backtrace\Frame` instances
$frames = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::create()->frames();
$firstFrame = $frames[0];
$firstFrame->file; // returns the file name
$firstFrame->lineNumber; // returns the line number
$firstFrame->class; // returns the class name

Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/backtrace
Usage
This is how you can create a backtrace instance:
$backtrace = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::create();
Getting the frames
To get all the frames you can call frames
.
$frames = $backtrace->frames(); // contains an array with `Spatie\Backtrace\Frame` instances
A Spatie\Backtrace\Frame
has these properties:
file
: the name of the filelineNumber
: the line numberarguments
: the arguments used for this frame. Will benull
ifwithArguments
was not used.class
: the class name for this frame. Will benull
if the frame concerns a function.method
: the method used in this frameapplicationFrame
: containstrue
is this frame belongs to your application, andfalse
if it belongs to a file in the vendor directory
Collecting arguments
For performance reasons, the frames of the back trace will not contain the arguments of the called functions. If you
want to add those use the withArguments
method.
$backtrace = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::create()->withArguments();
Setting the application path
You can use the applicationPath
to pass the base path of your app. This value will be used to determine whether a
frame is an application frame, or a vendor frame. Here's an example using a Laravel specific function.
$backtrace = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::create()->applicationPath(base_path());
Getting a certain part of a trace
If you only want to have the frames starting from a particular frame in the backtrace you can use
the startingFromFrame
method:
use Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace;
use Spatie\Backtrace\Frame;
$frames = Backtrace::create()
->startingFromFrame(function (Frame $frame) {
return $frame->class === MyClass::class;
})
->frames();
With this code, all frames before the frame that concerns MyClass
will have been filtered out.
Alternatively, you can use the offset
method, which will skip the given number of frames. In this example the first 2 frames will not end up in $frames
.
$frames = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::create()
->offset(2)
->frames();
Limiting the number of frames
To only get a specific number of frames use the limit
function. In this example, we'll only get the first two frames.
$frames = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::create()
->limit(2)
->frames();
Getting a backtrace for a throwable
Here's how you can get a backtrace for a throwable.
$frames = Spatie\Backtrace\Backtrace::createForThrowable($throwable)
Because we will use the backtrace that is already available the throwable, the frames will always contain the arguments used.
