# phpspy
phpspy is a low-overhead sampling profiler for PHP. It works with non-ZTS PHP
7.0+ with CLI, Apache, and FPM SAPIs on 64-bit Linux 3.2+.
[](https://github.com/adsr/phpspy/actions/workflows/phpspy_test.yml)
### Demos
You can profile PHP scripts:
You can attach to running PHP processes:
It has a top-like mode:
It can collect request info, memory usage, and variables:
You can also use it to make flamegraphs like this:
All with no changes to your application and minimal overhead.
### Synopsis
$ git clone https://github.com/adsr/phpspy.git
Cloning into 'phpspy'...
...
$ cd phpspy
$ make
...
$ sudo ./phpspy --limit=1000 --pid=$(pgrep -n httpd) >traces
...
$ ./stackcollapse-phpspy.pl flame.svg
$ google-chrome flame.svg # View flame.svg in browser
### Build options
$ make # Use built-in structs
$ # or
$ USE_ZEND=1 make ... # Use Zend structs (requires PHP development headers)
### Usage
$ ./phpspy -h
Usage:
phpspy [options] -p
phpspy [options] -P
phpspy [options] [--]
Options:
-h, --help Show this help
-p, --pid= Trace PHP process at `pid`
-P, --pgrep= Concurrently trace processes that
match pgrep `args` (see also `-T`)
-T, --threads= Set number of threads to use with `-P`
(default: 16)
-s, --sleep-ns= Sleep `ns` nanoseconds between traces
(see also `-H`) (default: 10101010)
-H, --rate-hz= Trace `hz` times per second
(see also `-s`) (default: 99)
-V, --php-version= Set PHP version
(default: auto;
supported: 70 71 72 73 74 80 81 82)
-l, --limit= Limit total number of traces to capture
(approximate limit in pgrep mode)
(default: 0; 0=unlimited)
-i, --time-limit-ms= Stop tracing after `ms` milliseconds
(second granularity in pgrep mode)
(default: 0; 0=unlimited)
-n, --max-depth= Set max stack trace depth
(default: -1; -1=unlimited)
-r, --request-info= Set request info parts to capture
(q=query c=cookie u=uri p=path
capital=negation)
(default: QCUP; none)
-m, --memory-usage Capture peak and current memory usage
with each trace (requires target PHP
process to have debug symbols)
-o, --output= Write phpspy output to `path`
(default: -; -=stdout)
-O, --child-stdout= Write child stdout to `path`
(default: phpspy.%d.out)
-E, --child-stderr= Write child stderr to `path`
(default: phpspy.%d.err)
-x, --addr-executor-globals= Set address of executor_globals in hex
(default: 0; 0=find dynamically)
-a, --addr-sapi-globals= Set address of sapi_globals in hex
(default: 0; 0=find dynamically)
-1, --single-line Output in single-line mode
-b, --buffer-size= Set output buffer size to `size`.
Note: In `-P` mode, setting this
above PIPE_BUF (4096) may lead to
interlaced writes across threads
unless `-J m` is specified.
(default: 4096)
-f, --filter= Filter output by POSIX regex
(default: none)
-F, --filter-negate= Same as `-f` except negated
-d, --verbose-fields= Set verbose output fields
(p=pid t=timestamp
capital=negation)
(default: PT; none)
-c, --continue-on-error Attempt to continue tracing after
encountering an error
-#, --comment= Ignored; intended for self-documenting
commands
-@, --nothing Ignored
-v, --version Print phpspy version and exit
Experimental options:
-j, --event-handler= Set event handler (fout, callgrind)
(default: fout)
-J, --event-handler-opts= Set event handler options
(fout: m=use mutex to prevent
interlaced writes on stdout in `-P`
mode)
-S, --pause-process Pause process while reading stacktrace
(unsafe for production!)
-e, --peek-var= Peek at the contents of the var located
at `varspec`, which has the format:
@:
@:-
e.g., xyz@/path/to.php:10-20
-g, --peek-global= Peek at the contents of a global var
located at `glospec`, which has
the format: .
where is one of:
post|get|cookie|server|files|globals
e.g., server.REQUEST_TIME
-t, --top Show dynamic top-like output
### Example (variable peek)
$ sudo ./phpspy -e 'i@/var/www/test/lib/test.php:12' -p $(pgrep -n httpd) | grep varpeek
# varpeek i@/var/www/test/lib/test.php:12 = 42
# varpeek i@/var/www/test/lib/test.php:12 = 42
# varpeek i@/var/www/test/lib/test.php:12 = 43
# varpeek i@/var/www/test/lib/test.php:12 = 44
...
