dtrace in PHP on OSX (yes you CAN do it :P)

Take one script:

<?php
function blastoff()
{
        echo "Blastoff!\n\n";
}

function one()
{
        echo "One...\n";
        blastoff();
}

function two()
{
        echo "Two...\n";
        one();
}

function three()
{
        echo "Three...\n";
        two();
}

function launch()
{
        three();
}

while (1)
{
        launch();
        sleep(1);
}
?>

Run it in a terminal - open up another... and...
