Is there an easy way to find the exact php page (including path) that a line of code appears in? For example, if I'm editing a wordpress theme with hundreds of php files in multiple nested folders, finding where, say, line 349 in the compiled source code appears in the file structure?

No! Compiled code doesn't have much meaning in PHP. And why would you want to or need to? – Mark Baker Mar 09 '12 at 15:23

The PHP language is interpreted and not compiled
Usually it will tell u the full path to the file when an error occurs .
if not you can display it by using :
$path = dirname(__FILE__);
echo $path ;

Sry, I meant interpreted. But if there's not an error, and I'm looking for a specific line of code? I'm not trying to find where a particular page is in the file structure, I'm seaching for the page that line of code appears on. (And please speak to me like I'm an idiot, I don't know that much about php.) – ats15201 Mar 09 '12 at 15:43
