Php - DTracing PHP

   These scripts trace the PHP programming language, and require the PHP 
   DTrace extension module to be installed and enabled.

   The PHP DTrace provider was written by Wes Furlong, and is available
   for download both as source and in binary form. The easiest instructions
   are currently at,

	http://blogs.sun.com/shanti/entry/dtrace_support_for_php

   which were written for Solaris and the coolstack distribution of PHP.
   The steps are roughly,

	1. Download the extension library from the URL above
	2. Copy the library to your php/extensions/* directory
	3. Edit your php.ini and add,
		extension="dtrace.so"

   The website with the PHP DTrace provider source is,

	http://pecl.php.net/package/DTrace

   Here you can fetch the source to build the library yourself, especially
   if Solaris binaries from the previous URL aren't going to work for you.

   Since the DTrace PHP provider may be developed further, there is a chance
   that it has changed slightly by the time you are reading this, causing
   these scripts to either break or behave oddly. Firstly, check for newer
   versions of the DTraceToolkit; if it hasn't been updated and you need
   to use these scripts immediately, then updating them shouldn't take
   too long. The following was the state of the provider when these scripts
   were written - check for changes and update the scripts accordingly,

	provider php {
	    probe function-entry(function, file, lineno)
	    probe function-return(function, file, lineno)
	};
