PHP does not have "stack trace" facilities a la Java

Yes, I DO regard it as a bug, please fix it.

Without this very simple feature it is a Nightmare to develop a site with many shared files with complicated logic.

Debugger in many cases will not do since you will have to reproduce the error first, and this is not a convenient way.

It would be nice to have a feature of showing the stack trace in all php error messages, plus a possibility to write a copy of all occured errors to a logfile, plus a possibility to render the current stack trace by a function call (for personal logging, error tracing, whatever).

Please apologise me for roughness, wrong address, or whatever. I got really ANGRY after sitting several hours on finding several idiotic bugs in my sites because the lack of this feature.

Best Regards...

I would like to suggest both a __CALLSTACK__ constant as well as a 
$_CALLSTACK[] magic array (or equivalants). 
And, if not obvious, include()/require() should definitely be considered 
functions...

PHP 4.3.x has debug_backtrace().
Knock yourselves out :)
