The easiest way is to use a tool to help reducing the test case
automatically.
I don't know about any specific tool for reducing PHP files, but in the past
I wrote a tool which automatically. It uses the delta debugging
algorithm, but is very much faster than delta, since it knows how PHP
works. I hope its also easier to use - you basically write a function
which takes source code, and returns true if the bug is still present.
Its at http://code.google.com/p/phc/source/browse/trunk/test/framework/reduce/Reduce.php.
You need to a copy of phc (phpcompiler.org) as well. The usage is
explained in the comments. I've used it a lot, but I've only just made
it work more generally. Please report any problems to me.
Oh, very nice, Paul ;) I wasn't aware of this script.
btw, does it perform inlining of included files? (so that you can have a self-contained reduced file)
