debug_print_backtrace — Prints a backtrace

### Description

debug_print_backtrace ([ int `$options` = 0 [, int `$limit` = 0 ]] ) : void

debug_print_backtrace() prints a PHP backtrace. It prints the function calls, included/required files and eval()ed stuff.

### Parameters

`options`

  As of 5.3.6, this parameter is a bitmask for the following options:

  debug_print_backtrace() options
  DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS | Whether or not to omit the "args" index, and thus all the function/method arguments, to save memory.

`limit`

  As of 5.4.0, this parameter can be used to limit the number of stack frames printed. By default (`limit`=`0`) it prints all stack frames.

### Return Values

No value is returned.

### Examples

Example #1 debug_print_backtrace() example

`<?php
// include.php file
function a() {
b();
}
function b() {
c();
}
function c(){
debug_print_backtrace();
}
a();
?>`
`<?php
// test.php file
// this is the file you should run
include 'include.php';
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    #0  c() called at [/tmp/include.php:10]
    #1  b() called at [/tmp/include.php:6]
    #2  a() called at [/tmp/include.php:17]
    #3  include(/tmp/include.php) called at [/tmp/test.php:3]
