For classes and interfaces, the Find Usages dialog box displays the following additional options:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Find Usages |
If selected, all usages of the class are displayed. |

If selected, usages of all subtypes of the class, including subtypes of subtypes, are displayed. Usages of the class itself are not displayed. |
Find Direct Subtypes Only |
If selected, only usages of direct subtypes are displayed. Subtypes of those subtypes are ignored. |
For functions, the Find Usages dialog box sometimes displays the following additional options:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Find Usages |
If selected, all usages of that specific function in your project are displayed. |
Find Overriding Functions |
If selected, the output will show every usage of a function that overrides this function in your project. |
Search from Base Class |
This option is only relevant if the function for which you are finding usages overrides another function. If selected, the output will show every usage of that base function. |
The Find Usages command is distinct from the Find command, because Find Usages returns only occurrences of the specified identifier in PHP source code. The Find command returns any matching string that you specify in any type of file.
