Expand PHP Stack Trace Arguments

On a stack trace returned from a PHP application in development, long string arguments to a function are truncated when display on the error page:

Abstract.php(238): Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract->query('INSERT INTO "tb...', Array)

How can I expand the query argument so the full text is visible? The server is running PHP 5.3.3.

Solution

  • Use debug_backtrace instead. It will give you the whole trace and doesn't trim arguments as far as I know.

    On a second thought: You might get away with it by either adding a global try catch for the entire application

    try {
   ...
} catch (Throwable $e)
   // var_dump($e.$e->getTrace()); // for the local environment
   error_log($e.$e->getTrace()); // for the live environment
}

    or by adding a global Exception handler to your application.
