    $stackLen = count($stack);
    for ($i = 1; $i < $stackLen; $i++) {
        $entry = $stack[$i];

        $func = $entry['function'] . '(';
        $argsLen = count($entry['args']);
        for ($j = 0; $j < $argsLen; $j++) {
            $func .= $entry['args'][$j];
            if ($j < $argsLen - 1) $func .= ', ';
        }
        $func .= ')';

        $output .= $entry['file'] . ':' . $entry['line'] . ' - ' . $func . PHP_EOL;
    }
    return $output;
