I wanted to run this past the list before submitting a bug report. (I've searched the bugs and haven't found anything relevant to my problem.) The problem is that when s method of one class is overridden in a subclass, debug_backtrace() doesn't distinguish between the two methods. For example, this code:
    class A {
        function __construct() {
            $bt = debug_backtrace();
            foreach ($bt as $t)
                print $t['class']."::".$t['function']."<br>";
        }
    }
        class B extends A {
        function __construct() {
            parent::__construct();
        }
    }
        $b = new B();
...produces this output:
    B::__construct
    B::__construct
...instead of the output I'd expect:
    A::__construct
    B::__construct
It happens for regular methods also, not just constructors. Is this a bug, or is this behavior correct for some reason? (Tested in php 5.0.0, 5.0.1, and 5.0.2)
This looks like a bug to me, open a report. Greg
