note 101498 modified in function.debug-backtrace by danbrown

Here's my little updated contribution - it prints colorful output in the way I prefer. Define a helper function isRootIp() that contains an array including your IP; then calls to bt() simply return, so you can sprinkle backtraces in live sites w/o anyone knowing. <?php function bt() { if( ! isRootIp() ) { return false; } array_walk( debug_backtrace(), create_function( '$a,$b', 'print "<br /><b>". basename( $a[\'file\'] ). "</b> &nbsp; <font color=\"red\">{$a[\'line\']}</font> &nbsp; <font color=\"green\">{$a[\'function\']} ()</font> &nbsp; -- ". dirname( $a[\'file\'] ). "/";' ) ); } ?> --was-- Here's my little updated contribution - it prints colorful output in the way I prefer.
