Short: Is it possible to see the PHP code that is going to be processed in whole? Long: I love to see things visually, and while programming i create all kinds of debugging variables i keep on the side for each page/request. I know this is possibly not possible since this has to be done from either the Zend Engine or PHP itself, but if i could see a complete output of all the code within my project that is used for a certain execution. Example: I call index.php?page=10 index.php includes functions.php and classes.php classes.php include page_classes.php if there is a $_GET["page"] variable set and product_classes.php if there is a $_GET["product"] variable set What i would like to see is the linear output of what code is included (so the data of functions.php, classes.php, then page_classes.php, and then index.php (not product_classes.php since its not included within this request) This is most likely possible with some PHP code but I'm thinking of trying to make sense of an old project i didn't create quickly and if this is possible it would help a lot.

Have you looked at PHPDebug? It offers something similar to what has been offered by ASP, ColdFusion, and .Net in terms of debugging output, and could help you? Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

you can also just use eclipse+pdt, stick it in debug mode and step through every line of code exploring all the variables and such like every step of the way
