I'm looking for a utility similar to gprof that will generate a call graph for PHP code. I'd prefer something that can produce graphical output, or at least text output that can be interpreted by GraphViz or similar, but I'll settle for plain text output.

Does anyone know of any tool that can do this?

I would definitely try Doxygen. It has support for PHP, and the call graphs and caller graphs it creates have been very useful in exploring "foreign code" for me previously.
