I'm taking over a website for my job. The last developer didn't understand the architecture of our CMS and hacked his way around everything. Also, he documented nothing.
I need to track back and see what files are being called when a website is called? What's the easiest way to do this?
I know I can do:
ps aux | grep php
That only shows me the currently running scripts though. If I don't run the command at the right time I'll miss stuff.
How can I view a log of every file that's run when a URL is called? This is a basic LAMP stack.
Thank you!
Solution from within PHP:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-included-files.php
use get_included_files() to get an array of all that have been included using include, include_once, require or require_once.
You could then do this:
register_shutdown_function( function(){
echo implode( PHP_EOL, get_included_files() );
} );
At which point you could write the list to disk with each execution.
