Name of function from inside

[Anon]

Hey,

Is there a way to get the name of the function from within itself (for debugging)

Example:

function TEST() {
print "Name of this function is". ????
}

would print "TEST"

where ???? would the the name of a PHP function that returns the name of the function it is inside...

Confused, you won't be after this weeks episode of...

Not that I know of. But it's easily solved by

function error($psFunctionName)
{
echo 'An error occured in '.$psFunctionName;
};

function test()
{
$sFunctionName='test';
error($sFunctionName);
};

Not that I'm aware of, but you can get the same effect by using FILE and LINE.
