debug_backtrace — 产生一条回溯跟踪(backtrace)
$options
= DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT
[, int $limit
= 0
]] )debug_backtrace() 产生一条 PHP 的回溯跟踪(backtrace)。
options
截至 5.3.6,这个参数是以下选项的位掩码:
DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT | 是否填充 "object" 的索引。 |
DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS | 是否忽略 "args" 的索引,包括所有的 function/method 的参数,能够节省内存开销。 |
TRUE
或者 FALSE
,分别等于是否设置 DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT
选项。
limit
截至 5.4.0,这个参数能够用于限制返回堆栈帧的数量。
默认为 (limit
=0) ,返回所有的堆栈帧。
返回一个包含众多关联数组的 array 。 以为为有可能返回的元素:
名字 | 类型 | 说明 |
---|---|---|
function | string | 当前的函数名,参见: __FUNCTION__。 |
line | integer | 当前的行号。参见: __LINE__。 |
file | string | 当前的文件名。参见: __FILE__。 |
class | string | 当前 class 的名称。参见 __CLASS__ |
object | object | 当前的 object。 |
type | string | 当前调用的类型。如果是一个方法,会返回 "->"。如果是一个静态方法,会返回 "::"。 如果是一个函数调用,则返回空。 |
args | array | 如果在一个函数里,这会列出函数的参数。 如果是在一个被包含的文件里,会列出包含的文件名。 |
版本 | 说明 |
---|---|
5.4.0 |
添加了可选的参数 limit 。
|
5.3.6 |
参数 provide_object 改成 options ,并且增加了可选参数
DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS 。
|
5.2.5 |
添加了可选参数 provide_object 。
|
5.1.1 | 添加了当前的 object 为可能返回的元素。 |
Example #1 debug_backtrace() 范例
<?php
// filename: /tmp/a.php
function a_test ( $str )
{
echo "\nHi: $str " ;
var_dump ( debug_backtrace ());
}
a_test ( 'friend' );
?>
<?php
// filename: /tmp/b.php
include_once '/tmp/a.php' ;
?>
执行 /tmp/b.php 返回的结果类似于以下:
Hi: friend array(2) { [0]=> array(4) { ["file"] => string(10) "/tmp/a.php" ["line"] => int(10) ["function"] => string(6) "a_test" ["args"]=> array(1) { [0] => &string(6) "friend" } } [1]=> array(4) { ["file"] => string(10) "/tmp/b.php" ["line"] => int(2) ["args"] => array(1) { [0] => string(10) "/tmp/a.php" } ["function"] => string(12) "include_once" } }

It works a little bit different with resources in different PHP versions.
For example:
function foo($bar)
{
return debug_backtrace();
}
$resource = fopen(__FILE__, 'r');
$backtrace = foo($resource);
echo "when resource is opened: " . gettype($backtrace[0]['args'][0]) . "\n";
fclose($resource);
echo "when resource is closed: " . gettype($backtrace[0]['args'][0]) . "\n";
With 5.3.10 I got:
when resource is opened: resource
when resource is closed: resource
With 5.5.9:
when resource is opened: resource
when resource is closed: unknown type
Be carefull.

When using debug_backtrace() to check if you're being accessed from another caller, please remember to ask debug_backtrace to only go as far as needed in depth and skip taking the entire debug object as return parameter:
<?php
if (count(debug_backtrace(FALSE, 1)) == 0)
{
// Do something
}
?>

Here's a function I just wrote for getting a nice and comprehensible call trace. It is probably more resource-intensive than some other alternatives but it is short, understandable, and gives nice output (Exception->getTraceAsString()).
<?php
function generateCallTrace()
{
$e = new Exception();
$trace = explode("\n", $e->getTraceAsString());
// reverse array to make steps line up chronologically
$trace = array_reverse($trace);
array_shift($trace); // remove {main}
array_pop($trace); // remove call to this method
$length = count($trace);
$result = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
{
$result[] = ($i + 1) . ')' . substr($trace[$i], strpos($trace[$i], ' ')); // replace '#someNum' with '$i)', set the right ordering
}
return "\t" . implode("\n\t", $result);
}
?>
Example output:
1) /var/www/test/test.php(15): SomeClass->__construct()
2) /var/www/test/SomeClass.class.php(36): SomeClass->callSomething()
[#4] Anonymous [2013-03-06 09:01:17]
A usual entry looks like this:
<?php
array(6) {
'file' =>
string(87) "DbSelector.php"
'line' =>
int(171)
'function' =>
string(5) "error"
'class' =>
string(42) "LoggingService"
'type' =>
string(2) "::"
'args' =>
array(1) {
[0] =>
string(27) "Connecting to DB: unittests"
}
}
?>
Be warned though that 'file' and 'class' do not reference the same thing!
'file' means which file calls the next step.
'class' is the next step being called.
So 'file' is the caller, 'class' is the callee.
[#5] Gemorroj [2013-02-11 09:58:58]
Another variation formatting backtrace.
Parameter $ignore to ignore the extra calls.
<?php
protected function getBacktrace($ignore = 2)
{
$trace = '';
foreach (debug_backtrace() as $k => $v) {
if ($k < $ignore) {
continue;
}
array_walk($v['args'], function (&$item, $key) {
$item = var_export($item, true);
});
$trace .= '#' . ($k - $ignore) . ' ' . $v['file'] . '(' . $v['line'] . '): ' . (isset($v['class']) ? $v['class'] . '->' : '') . $v['function'] . '(' . implode(', ', $v['args']) . ')' . "\n";
}
return $trace;
}
?>

Here is a function to cleanly output the debug_backtrace to the error_log
<?php
function log_trace($message = '') {
$trace = debug_backtrace();
if ($message) {
error_log($message);
}
$caller = array_shift($trace);
$function_name = $caller['function'];
error_log(sprintf('%s: Called from %s:%s', $function_name, $caller['file'], $caller['line']));
foreach ($trace as $entry_id => $entry) {
$entry['file'] = $entry['file'] ? : '-';
$entry['line'] = $entry['line'] ? : '-';
if (empty($entry['class'])) {
error_log(sprintf('%s %3s. %s() %s:%s', $function_name, $entry_id + 1, $entry['function'], $entry['file'], $entry['line']));
} else {
error_log(sprintf('%s %3s. %s->%s() %s:%s', $function_name, $entry_id + 1, $entry['class'], $entry['function'], $entry['file'], $entry['line']));
}
}
}

Simple function to get a string in form "filename: [class->][function(): ]"
<?php
function get_caller_info() {
$c = '';
$file = '';
$func = '';
$class = '';
$trace = debug_backtrace();
if (isset($trace[2])) {
$file = $trace[1]['file'];
$func = $trace[2]['function'];
if ((substr($func, 0, 7) == 'include') || (substr($func, 0, 7) == 'require')) {
$func = '';
}
} else if (isset($trace[1])) {
$file = $trace[1]['file'];
$func = '';
}
if (isset($trace[3]['class'])) {
$class = $trace[3]['class'];
$func = $trace[3]['function'];
$file = $trace[2]['file'];
} else if (isset($trace[2]['class'])) {
$class = $trace[2]['class'];
$func = $trace[2]['function'];
$file = $trace[1]['file'];
}
if ($file != '') $file = basename($file);
$c = $file . ": ";
$c .= ($class != '') ? ":" . $class . "->" : "";
$c .= ($func != '') ? $func . "(): " : "";
return($c);
}
?>
Usage like:
<?php
function debug($str) {
echo get_caller_info() . $str . "<br>\n";
}
?>
get_caller_info() will return info about the function /class->method that called debug().

When use register_shutdown_function, and the function called when shutting down, there are no line number nor filename information about this function, only function, class(if possible), type(if possible) and args are provided.

Super simple example to output where your function was called from (file, function, line number):
<?php
// Prints the file name, function name, and
// line number which called your function
// (not this function, then one that called
// it to begin with)
function debugPrintCallingFunction () {
$file = 'n/a';
$func = 'n/a';
$line = 'n/a';
$debugTrace = debug_backtrace();
if (isset($debugTrace[1])) {
$file = $debugTrace[1]['file'] ? $debugTrace[1]['file'] : 'n/a';
$line = $debugTrace[1]['line'] ? $debugTrace[1]['line'] : 'n/a';
}
if (isset($debugTrace[2])) $func = $debugTrace[2]['function'] ? $debugTrace[2]['function'] : 'n/a';
echo "<pre>\n$file, $func, $line\n</pre>";
}
?>

Howdy guys, just a note really - The ['args'] data within the resulting array is supplied by reference. I found myself editing the reference unknowingly which in turn shows its ugly head further down the line if you call multiple backtrace.
<?php
$trace = array_reverse(debug_backtrace());
// LOOP BACKTRACE
$la = 0;
$lb = count($trace);
while ($la<$lb){
// DATA FROM BACKTRACE
$trace[$la]['file'];
$trace[$la]['line'];
$trace[$la]['args'];
$trace[$la]['function'];
// DATA FROM BACKTRACE
// LOOP ARGUMENTS ARRAY
$ba = 0;
$bb = count($trace[$la]['args']);
while ($ba<$bb){
$trace[$la]['args'][$ba] = "EDITING A REFERENCE/POINTER";
$ba++;
}
unset($bb);
unset($ba);
// LOOP ARGUMENTS ARRAY
$la++;
}
unset($lb);
unset($la);
// LOOP BACKTRACE

Here's my little updated contribution - it prints colorful output in the way I prefer. Define a helper function isRootIp() that contains an array including your IP; then calls to bt() simply return, so you can sprinkle backtraces in live sites w/o anyone knowing.
<?php
function bt()
{
if( ! isRootIp() )
{
return false;
}
array_walk( debug_backtrace(), create_function( '$a,$b', 'print "<br /><b>". basename( $a[\'file\'] ). "</b> <font color=\"red\">{$a[\'line\']}</font> <font color=\"green\">{$a[\'function\']} ()</font> -- ". dirname( $a[\'file\'] ). "/";' ) );
}

I find it useful to know if a function is being called. in Java for instance you usually print a line with the functionname and arguments in the beginning of the function. I wanted to achieve the same thing in php thus i wrote the following class:
<?php
class Debug
{
private static $calls;
public static function log($message = null)
{
if(!is_array(self::$calls))
self::$calls = array();
$call = debug_backtrace(false);
$call = (isset($call[1]))?$call[1]:$call[0];
$call['message'] = $message;
array_push(self::$calls, $call);
}
}
?>
include this class before anything else
usage: Debug::log($message); at the beginning of your function.
write yourself a nice printout of the data;

One line of code to print simplest and shortest human readable backtrace:)
<?php
array_walk(debug_backtrace(),create_function('$a,$b','print "{$a[\'function\']}()(".basename($a[\'file\']).":{$a[\'line\']}); ";'));
?>
[#16] php noob [2010-09-02 20:32:48]
Surprisingly, no one has described one of the best uses of this: dumping a variable and showing the location. When debugging, especially a big and unfamiliar system, it's a pain remembering where I added those var dumps. Also, this way there is a separator between multiple dump calls.
<?php
function dump( $var ) {
$result = var_export( $var, true );
$loc = whereCalled();
return "\n<pre>Dump: $loc\n$result</pre>";
}
function whereCalled( $level = 1 ) {
$trace = debug_backtrace();
$file = $trace[$level]['file'];
$line = $trace[$level]['line'];
$object = $trace[$level]['object'];
if (is_object($object)) { $object = get_class($object); }
return "Where called: line $line of $object \n(in $file)";
}
?>
In addition, calling 'whereCalled()' from any function will quickly identify locations that are doing something unexpected (e.g., updating a property at the wrong time). I'm new to PHP, but have used the equivalent in Perl for years.
[#17] jlammertink at gmail dot com [2010-07-15 02:32:27]
I use this simple but effective function so i can see which method in the child class called the current method (in the parent class).

{
return $traces[2]['function'];
}
return null;

Everybody seems to have their favorite use. I substitute this function for die(). It gives a message
to the user and emails me a PrettyPrint of what went wrong. $info is set by me,
and it does a special check in the database object.
<?php
// var_format
function var_format($v) // pretty-print var_export
{
return (str_replace(array("\n"," ","array"),
array("<br>"," "," <i>array</i>"),
var_export($v,true))."<br>");
}
function myDie($info)
{
$mysqlerr=strpos($info,"ERROR=You have an error in your SQL syntax");
if($mysqlerr>0)$info=substr($info,0,$mysqlerr)." mySql format error";
$out="<br>MSG='$info'<br>".var_format($_REQUEST)."<br>";
$bt=debug_backtrace();
$sp=0;
$trace="";
foreach($bt as $k=>$v)
{
extract($v);
$file=substr($file,1+strrpos($file,"/"));
if($file=="db.php")continue; // the db object
$trace.=str_repeat(" ",++$sp); //spaces(++$sp);
$trace.="file=$file, line=$line, function=$function<br>";
}
$out.="<br>".backTrace();
if(substr($info,0,4)=="XXX ") // special errrors when db is inaccessible
{
$out=str_replace("<br>","\n",$out);
$out=str_replace(" "," ",$out);
mail("me@example.com","Database Execution Error for user ".$REMOTE_ADDR,"$out");
exit("Database Access Error. Please try again later.");
}
mail("me@example.com",'Error Monitor','Execution Error',$out);
exit("DANG! An execution error in the program has been sent to the webmaster.
If you don't get an email from him soon, please call him.");
}
?>
This produces an output like this

Here is my simple example:
Code printing variable of class which instatiates the printing class.
Well, I am sure you understand when looking at the code:
Print result is: jippii
<?php
class A {
function something() {
$s = debug_backtrace();
$callingObject = $s[1]['object'];
$test = $callingObject->jip;
print $test;
}
}
class B {
var $jip;
function execute() {
$a = new A();
$this->jip = "jippii";
$a->something();
}
}
$control = new B();
$control->execute();
?>

Here's a way to get the arguments for an upstream function in your stack (works with class methods, static methods and non-class methods):
<?php
function getArgs( $target, $subclass_ok = true ) {
if( strpos( $target, "::" ) ) {
list( $class, $target ) = explode( "::", $target, 2 );
$type = "::";
}
else if( strpos( $target, "->" ) ) {
list( $class, $target ) = explode( "->", $target, 2 );
$type = "->";
}
else {
$type = NULL;
$class = NULL;
}
$class and $class = new ReflectionClass( $class );
foreach( debug_backtrace() as $obj ) {
if( $obj['function'] == $target ) {
if( $type and $obj['type'] == $type ) {
$_cl = new ReflectionClass( $obj['class'] );
if( $_cl->getName() == $class->getName() or ( $subclass_ok and $_cl->isSubclassOf( $class ) ) ) {
return $obj['args'];
}
unset( $_cl );
}
else if( !$type ) {
return $obj['args'];
}
}
}
return NULL;
}
?>
Some example usage:
<?php
class Foo {
function test() {
$args = getArgs( "Foo->base" );
print( "the parameter 'v' to my call of base was: {$args[0]}\n" );
}
function base( $v ) {
$this->test();
}
}
$f = new Foo();
$f->base( 713 ); // will print.. ".. my call of base was: 713"
?>
Trust me, there are some reasons for why you might want to do this :)
[#22] aryel at iku dot com dot br [2008-01-29 14:40:51]
An easy function to pull all details of the debug backtrace:
<?php
function getDebugBacktrace($NL = "<BR>") {
$dbgTrace = debug_backtrace();
$dbgMsg .= $NL."Debug backtrace begin:$NL";
foreach($dbgTrace as $dbgIndex => $dbgInfo) {
$dbgMsg .= "\t at $dbgIndex ".$dbgInfo['file']." (line {$dbgInfo['line']}) -> {$dbgInfo['function']}(".join(",",$dbgInfo['args'])")$NL";
}
$dbgMsg .= "Debug backtrace end".$NL;
return $dbgMsg;
}
?>
Then you can call it anywhere you want to get a string with the debug backtrace in readable format (i.e. your error handling function)
<?php
$backtrace = getDebugBacktrace();
echo "Fatal error! Cannot connect to database!";
echo $backtrace;
?>
If you're running on command line, you might want to replace the line split. You can do that thru the function argument:
<?php
$backtrace = getDebugBacktrace("\n");
echo "Error! Server is running out of foos! Dumping error backtrace";
echo $backtrace;
?>
Hope that helps,
Aryel
[#23] php at kennel17 dot co dot uk [2007-06-20 09:30:08]
Further to my previous note, the 'object' element of the array can be used to get the parent object. So changing the get_class_static() function to the following will make the code behave as expected:
<?php
function get_class_static() {
$bt = debug_backtrace();
if (isset($bt[1]['object']))
return get_class($bt[1]['object']);
else
return $bt[1]['class'];
}
?>
HOWEVER, it still fails when being called statically. Changing the last two lines of my previous example to
<?php
foo::printClassName();
bar::printClassName();
?>
...still gives the same problematic result in PHP5, but in this case the 'object' property is not set, so that technique is unavailable.
[#24] php at kennel17 dot co dot uk [2007-06-20 09:01:02]
The value of the class argument has changed slightly between PHP4 and PHP5:
Here's an example:
<?php
function get_class_static() {
$bt = debug_backtrace();
$name = $bt[1]['class'];
return $name;
}
class foo {
function printClassName() {
print(get_class_static() . "\n");
}
}
class bar extends foo {
}
$f = new foo();
$b = new bar();
$f->printClassName();
$b->printClassName();
?>
In PHP4 you get:
foo
bar
In PHP5 you get:
foo
foo
debug_backtrace() now sets the 'class' parameter to be the class that the function is actually defined in, not the name of the instantiated class.
[#25] jsnell at e-normous dot com [2007-05-30 14:35:46]
If you are using the backtrace function in an error handler, avoid using var_export() on the args, as you will cause fatal errors in some situations, preventing you from seeing your stack trace. Some structures will cause PHP to generate the fatal error "Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?" This is a design feature of php, not a bug (see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30471)

I've started creating an external debug server for PHP. A PHP app require_once's a TADebugger(), which communicates with the debug sever. Find the OS X universal binary here [PHP source sample included]:
http://www.turingart.com/downloads/phpDebugger.zip
Currently, TADebugger allows to post these properties back to the debug server:
- Call backtraces
- String messages
- Source files, which were referenced by a backtrace call
Note, that the binary is a early version.

Hi, I got tired of using a trace( $message, __FILE__, __LINE__ ) function I made. It forced me to include the file and line params (since php doesn't have macros) so I decided to make an alternative.
Simply call this new version using trace( 'my message' ); and it prints out a stack trace in a clearer way than the one stored in the debug_backtrace() array. It handles traces from outside of functions, traces in nested functions, and traces in included files, and also displays the function in a way that can be pasted right back into your php code for faster testing!
NOTE - be sure to save your files with the correct line endings for the line numbers to work correctly, which for Mac OS X is unix. You can get to this option in the popup menu in the toolbar at the top of each window in BBEdit.

Surprizingly, debug_backtrace() cannot aquire arguments from the function that is used as the second or later argument of a function.
<?php
function a($p) {
$backtrace = debug_backtrace();
if (isset($backtrace[0]['args']))
var_export($backtrace[0]['args']);
else
echo "Cannot aquire arguments";
echo "<br />";
return $p;
}
function b($p1, $p2, $p3) {
echo "$p1, $p2, $p3";
}
// This outputs:
// array ( 0 => 'First a', )
// Cannot aquire arguments
// Cannot aquire arguments
// First a, Second a, Third a
b(a("First a"), a("Second a"), a("Third a"));

Another debug output. This is a short function that does not display the args (sometimes password are in arguments ...) and shows the callstack clearly in a table. In most cases i don't need more ...
<?php
function dieDebug($sError)
{
echo "<hr /><div>".$sError."<br /><table border='1'>";
$sOut=""; $aCallstack=debug_backtrace();
echo "<thead><tr><th>file</th><th>line</th><th>function</th>".
"</tr></thead>";
foreach($aCallstack as $aCall)
{
if (!isset($aCall['file'])) $aCall['file'] = '[PHP Kernel]';
if (!isset($aCall['line'])) $aCall['line'] = '';
echo "<tr><td>{$aCall["file"]}</td><td>{$aCall["line"]}</td>".
"<td>{$aCall["function"]}</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table></div><hr /></p>";
die();
}
?>
To use it, simply do something like this:
<?php
if(...) dieDebug("another error found!");
?>
[#32] http://synergy8.com [2005-12-13 22:37:40]
It should be noted that if an internal php function such as call_user_func in the backtrace, the 'file' and 'line' entries will not be set.
Most debug tracers will use these entries. You should place a check to see if the key exists in the array before using this function. Otherwise notices will be generated.
<?php
$arrTrace = debug_backtrace();
foreach ($arrTrace as $arr)
{
if (!isset ($arr['file']))
{
$arr['file'] = '[PHP Kernel]';
}
if (!isset ($arr['line']))
{
$arr['line'] = '';
}
// Do something
}
?>
[#33] tb [2005-07-21 11:18:46]
I use this for debugging in my object oriented systems. It allows me to output a debug/error/warning function with exact information about the location that the error was thrown, which is useful. Check it:
<?php
abstract class Debugger {
abstract function debug($msg);
abstract function error($msg);
abstract function warning($msg);
protected function getMsg($msg) {
$bt = debug_backtrace();
// get class, function called by caller of caller of caller
$class = $bt[2]['class'];
$function = $bt[2]['function'];
// get file, line where call to caller of caller was made
$file = $bt[1]['file'];
$line = $bt[1]['line'];
// build & return the message
return "$class::$function: $msg in $file at $line";
}
}
?>
Implement different debuggers for different scenarios (development, testing, production). Each debugger extends Debugger; each of its methods (debug/error/warning) calls $this->getMsg($msg) to get a message with class, function, file, and line information. Then it can either log it, email it, die with it, etc.
Then, just give each object (perhaps using a common superclass Object) a concrete debugger. Then, from any object method, do something like:
<?php
class Foo extends Object {
function bar() {
$this->debugger->error("This is an error");
}
}
?>
Which produces something like:
Foo::bar: This is an error in /some/file at X
[#34] diz at ysagoon dot com [2004-11-24 02:35:18]
Ok as spagmoid already said, I just realized that my function has a similar bug than jlim's function.
So just add the following line:
if (is_array($bt['args']))
before line:
foreach ($bt['args'] as $a) {
This way you avoid the warning from being displayed.

And here are my two cents for a useful and good looking backtrace function.
<?php
function backtrace()
{
$output = "<div style='text-align: left; font-family: monospace;'>\n";
$output .= "<b>Backtrace:</b><br />\n";
$backtrace = debug_backtrace();
foreach ($backtrace as $bt) {
$args = '';
foreach ($bt['args'] as $a) {
if (!empty($args)) {
$args .= ', ';
}
switch (gettype($a)) {
case 'integer':
case 'double':
$args .= $a;
break;
case 'string':
$a = htmlspecialchars(substr($a, 0, 64)).((strlen($a) > 64) ? '...' : '');
$args .= "\"$a\"";
break;
case 'array':
$args .= 'Array('.count($a).')';
break;
case 'object':
$args .= 'Object('.get_class($a).')';
break;
case 'resource':
$args .= 'Resource('.strstr($a, '#').')';
break;
case 'boolean':
$args .= $a ? 'True' : 'False';
break;
case 'NULL':
$args .= 'Null';
break;
default:
$args .= 'Unknown';
}
}
$output .= "<br />\n";
$output .= "<b>file:</b> {$bt['line']} - {$bt['file']}<br />\n";
$output .= "<b>call:</b> {$bt['class']}{$bt['type']}{$bt['function']}($args)<br />\n";
}
$output .= "</div>\n";
return $output;
}
?>
And here's a sample of how the output looks like (the last call is on the top):
Backtrace:
file: 56 - /tmp/test.php
call: backtrace()
file: 53 - /tmp/test.php
call: test->bar(15.4, Array(4))
file: 61 - /tmp/test.php
call: test->test("making new object", True)
file: 65 - /tmp/test.php
call: foo(Resource(#2), Null)
[#36] ad-rotator.com [2004-04-30 09:11:14]
To simply print out the file/function trace (chain of calls, file and line number before the error):
function getTrace() {
$vDebug = debug_backtrace();
$vFiles = array();
for ($i=0;$i<count($vDebug);$i++) {
// skip the first one, since it's always this func
if ($i==0) { continue; }
$aFile = $vDebug[$i];
$vFiles[] = '('.basename($aFile['file']).':'.$aFile['line'].')';
} // for
$vTraceStr = implode(',',$vFiles);
}

Great function, but you have a few bugs.
At the line:
foreach($arr['args'] as $v)
Change it to:
$args = array();
if(!empty($arr['args'])) foreach($arr['args'] as $v)
And since line & file are not present in the array if calling from the error handler,
$Line = (isset($arr['line'])? $arr['line'] : "unknown");
$File = (isset($arr['file'])? $arr['file'] : "unknown");
and substitute accordingly.
Here's my version of it, alas with different formatting:
