which php called the present php?

[stfaprc]

Would someone point me to the thread which details how to tell which function called a subfunction from with the subfunction?

oh gawd. not sure i know what you mean!

you can get a backtrace. From php5 you can use debug_print_backtrace(). if you couple this with an error handling routine, you get quite a powerful debugger. for older versions of php, you can use debug_backtrace() and parse the information yourself.

I have a library userdefined function and it would be nice to know which program/script called the userdefined function so that I could trace which program/script is sending in incorrectly formatted requests that cause warning messages but not error messages.

debug_backtrace() should provide you with all the information you need.

debug_print_backtrace(); did not seem to do anything.

var_dump(debug_backtrace());
did return an array, is there a way to have it print to a file and not the browser?

debug_backtrace() returns an array. You can do whatever you want with it. There are examples at the link I posted previously.
