Can I find what files are using when a website page is ran?

Question

I just received a source from my customer (it's written by PHP Generally), I try to read it and glance at database. I realize that it's very mess, some webpage's content is also saved in database. So, I want to find files are using by browser and I mean that php files, I want to edit them. Can I do that?

P/S: I'm sorry if this article bother you

tracing source code is one of the programmers' task. You can try to import the source codes to Eclipse, see if the IDE helps. — Raptor, Dec 24 '13 at 02:35
As I said above, "it's written by PHP Generally" - no framework — Killer Whale, Dec 24 '13 at 02:36
You can use debug tools to do this. Your browser is not one of them. — Popnoodles, Dec 24 '13 at 02:36
xdebug might do what you want, but also other things. You're better off doing your own research. This closed question might help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/888/how-do-you-debug-php-scripts — Popnoodles, Dec 24 '13 at 02:41
The [`inclued`](http://php.net/inclued) extension does exactly this. — Sverri M. Olsen, Dec 24 '13 at 02:45

Hi At any point you need to know what functions, what includes and what arguments are being passed just use debug_print_backtrace() function in your code.
