Automatic Variable for Current Function

[Anon]

I am trying to regularize my handling of error messages within functions and it would be very useful if there were a variable which I had access to which was the name of the current function I was in or a stack trace.

I havent been able to find anything like this..

About the closest thing built-in are the FILE and LINE constants. From the manual section on Predefined Constants:

<?php
function report_error($file, $line, $message)
{
echo "An error occured in $file on line $line: $message.";
}

report_error(FILE, LINE, "Something went wrong!");
?>
