infog / used_files_mapper
Small library to help debugging apps by logging the used php files
README
This library will log the php files used by your PHP application.
The idea here is to understand which parts of your code are used and which are not, so it is safer to remove them.
This library can be specially useful when upgrading PHP versions or even to learn more about a new codebase.
It works by having a log of the used files and then making a usage report out of those files.
Usage
Simply register the mapper in your index file passing a filename to write the output to:
<?php use InFog\UsedFilesMapper\FilesMapper; FilesMapper::register('/tmp/usedfiles.log');
After running your application you will see a list of used files in the log file passed to the register method.
Keeping the log
Do you want to use the report command to generate a nice HTML page containing
a list of the used files? Then you should keep the used files in the log file
using the MODE_APPEND option:
<?php use InFog\UsedFilesMapper\FilesMapper; FilesMapper::register('/tmp/usedfiles.log', FilesMapper::MODE_APPEND);
Generating the heatmap
In order to generate the report you will need the log file and the application's code base.
Here is an example:
- The files on the server are under
/app/website - After collecting the usage for some time you downloaded the report into
~/Desktop/usedfiles.log - The codebase is under
~/Projects/website
The report can be generated using the following commands:
cd ~/Projects/website ./vendor/infog/used_files_mapper/bin/report . /app/website/ ~/Desktop/usedfiles.log /tmp/report.html
