making a DOT graph for PHP include statements

2 comments

A couple of months ago, I posted about my experience with making a Python dependency graph.

Of course, as the post states, I was originally looking for a way to make a graph showing the relationship among PHP files in regard to "include" statements.

Well, I'm home sick and after a few hours of trying to find an easy, out-of-box solution I gave up and rolled my own Python script to make me a DOT graph file.

I didn't have anything better to do.

:(

The results are pretty simplistic, but I'm happy enough with it for now.

The Python script takes three arguments: the directory in which the PHP files exist, whether to search recursively or not (0=no, 1=yes), and the name of the output file as such:

$ python makeDOT.py blog/wordpress 1 wordpressIncludes.dot

#####
#importing modules
import glob, re, sys, os, fnmatch
br = "\n"
tab = "\t"


#####
#exiting if all 3 arguments are not passed via command line
def fail():
    print ("ERROR: " + str(len(sys.argv)-1) + " of 3 required arguments provided.")
    sys.exit()


#####
#getting arguments passed via command line
   
#testing for root DIRECTORY string
try: myDir = sys.argv[1]
except: fail()

#testing for RECURSION boolean
try: myRec = sys.argv[2]
except: fail()

#testing for OUTPUT filename string
try: myFile = sys.argv[3]
except: fail()


#####
#making list of PHP files within DIRECTORY
if myRec == "0": #without recursion
    myDir2 = myDir + "/*.php"
    PHP_list = glob.glob(myDir2)
elif myRec == "1": #with recursion
    PHP_list = []
    for dirname, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(myDir):
        for filename in filenames:
            if fnmatch.fnmatch (filename,("*.php")):
                match = os.path.join(dirname,filename)
                PHP_list.append(match)

#make an empty list;
#tuples will go in the list;
#each tuple will contain a PHP filename and a PHP filename it includes
includeList = []

#iterate through each PHP file and place tuples in the list
for phpFile in PHP_list:
    fileOpen = open(phpFile, "r")
    #for each line in a PHP file
    for line in fileOpen:
            m = re.match(r"(.*)include(.*\()(.*)\)", line) #for include(),include_once()
            if m:
                matchFile = m.group(3)[1:-1]
                if matchFile[-4::] == ".php": #only PHP files
                    phpFile = phpFile.replace("\\","/")
                    matchFile = matchFile.replace("\\","/")
                    matchFile = matchFile.replace("\"","")
                    matchFile = matchFile.replace('\'',"")
                    includeList.append([phpFile[len(myDir)+1:], matchFile])
            else: pass

            m = re.match(r'(.*)require(.*\()(.*)\)', line) #for require(), require_once()
            if m:
                matchFile = m.group(3)[1:-1]
                if matchFile[-4::] == '.php': #only PHP files
                    phpFile = phpFile.replace("\\","/")
                    matchFile = matchFile.replace("\\","/")
                    matchFile = matchFile.replace("\"","")
                    matchFile = matchFile.replace('\'',"")
                    includeList.append([phpFile[len(myDir)+1:], matchFile])
            else: pass


#####
#creating DOT file
dot = open(myFile, "w")

#writing to DOT file
dot.write("digraph {" + br)
for a,b in includeList:
    dot.write(tab)
    dot.write("\"")
    dot.write(a)
    dot.write("\"")
    dot.write(" -> ")
    dot.write("\"")
    dot.write(b)
    dot.write("\"")
    dot.write(";")
    dot.write(br)
dot.write("}")
dot.close()


#####
#exiting
sys.exit()

I ran the Python script on the PHP scripts for MXMLiszt.

Then I used the "circo" layout engine in Graphviz – specifically the Gvedit.exe application – on this resultant DOT file.

Here's the result:

making my first dependency graph

leave a comment

I wanted a quick, easy way to generate a dependency graph for PHP include statements, but of course I actually did my Google searches for a Python dependency visualizer. The PHP can wait …

Anyway, I found this cool page that had some scripts that can make dependency graphs using Python import statements.

In a nutshell, here's what I did.

  1. Made a folder on my Desktop (I have Window 7) called "python_visualizer".
  2. Downloaded py2depgraph.py  and depgraph2dot.py to the folder.
  3. Downloaded and installed Graphviz.
    • On my system it installed to:
      • C:\Program Files\Graphviz2.26.3
  4. Put a copy of one of my Python scripts (renamed to "foo.py") in the "python_visualizer" folder.
  5. Opened the command line and did this:

$ python_visualizer>python py2depgraph.py foo.py | python depgraph2dot.py | "C:\Program Files\Graphviz2.26.3\bin\dot" -T png -o depgraph.png

Now, I did get a little error message as below:

(dot.exe:7244): Pango-WARNING **: couldn't load font "Helvetica Not-Rotated 10", falling back to "Sans Not-Rotated 10", expect ugly output.

but it's no big deal, the PNG still got made … and I don't think it's that ugly!

But you can judge for yourself …
