managing scripts / functions

[leatherback]

Hi All,

I was wondering wether anybody knows of a script to keep track of individual functions / sections / files used.

Say I have a project, consisting of 40 pages. Each page relies on a number of functions/includes, which are saved as seperate include files, since the functions&includes are used by mulitple pages. Now I would like to be able to point a script to index.php, and then have the script create a listing of all include and functions used by that file, and, preferably, have the script continue searching in the ther files, so that a program-tree forms. Ideally this script would also point out any missing files..

Is there anybody who has such a script / knows one? If not: Is there a term which I could use to search for on www? So far I have been pretty unsuccesfull..

Thanks

J

Hi!
I don't know if this is what you are after, but I knocked this simple script up for you, hope it helps!

//testpage.php
//-----------------
<?php
  function Testfunction1()
  {
  }

  function Testfunction2()
  {
  }

  function Testfunction3()
  {
  }

  function Testfunction4()
  {
  }

  function Testfunction5()
  {
  }

  function Testfunction6()
  {
  }
?>

// ---------------------------------------------

<?php
  $getpage = array("testpage.php");

  $fp = fopen($getpage[0],"r");

  while(!feof($fp))
  {
    $getdata = fgets($fp,1024);

if(ereg("function",$getdata))
{
 print substr($getdata,10)."<br>"; 
}

  }

  fclose($fp);
?>

Hi Xoid,

Thanks for your effort!

It is not exactly what I was looking for, but it definately gives me a start to work from.

I'll wait till tonight for some more input, after that I'll probably start writing it myself. I'll keep this forum updated IF I get a working script.

yeah, LOL, I know it's not exactly but I hope it gives you a start, best to write it yourself I would think though, your learn more in the process, good luck!

Haha,

I could write the thing. Not a real problem. But I am -just like everybody- a bit lazy.. 😃.

Why write it yourself if somebody might be able to pull it of the shelf!? It seems to me like a fairly usefull tool for everybody, so there might be somebody who has had the need for this before!?

Anyway. I have the flow-chart more or less ready, just wondering how much time I want to spend..

If I was going to be cheeky, I'd use show_source() and grab a syntax-highlighted version of the file, and look for, e.g., <keyword markup>function<keyword markup> <identifier markup>(\w+)<identifier markup> or something like that. That's the list of functions defined in that file. Whether they're used or not is another matter: with the list of defiend functions one can I guess go through the highlighted source and see if there is any mention of each (though that still does not guarante use, of course). Other tasks can be approached similarly.

If I was going to speak marketese I'd say something about "Leveraging the power of the Zend engine".

Hehe,

Yeah, that Could work.
But I am sort fo trying to start structuring all the snippets, codes etcetc I have on my projkects. THen it is easier to ahve a recursive function.

But I have the basic idea on paper, and I will post it when I have gotten around to writing it (Probably end up doing it only this weekend..),
