In PHP 7+ however it now seems I have to add declare(ticks=1) in every file. I use this for profiling every method call on a page load and can't now add this to each PHP file in my system (If they are in libraries etc.). I can't find anything in the docs about changes that were made to this or an alternative method for profiling every tick in the application.
