how can i get the name of the class or function i'm in

[Steffel]

plz help:
is there a way to get the name of a class like:

class A
{
  function A
  {
    echo $this->get_name();
  }
  function B
  {
    echo $this->get_function_name();
  }
}

i need it to log some actions and i don't wanna set variables to get this possibility...

thx

$methods = get_class_methods(get_class($myClass));

i can use that to get the name of the class, but how about the method / function i'm in?

so i wanna log the actions like
function B
{
// do something
writeLog("somethings done", $this->get_this_function_name())
}

very good question,

have you tried the keywork/reserved word

FUNCTION

That might work

[Steffel]

hmm, no, that doesn't work...
🙁

That's because FUNCTION is not a php constant.

Since you're in the class/function of interest, why not just hard code them?

class A
{
  function A
  {
    echo "A::A";
  }
  function B
  {
    echo "A::B";
  }
}

sure i could do that, but thats not what i want
i'm searching for a dynamic way to get the functions name

i hate hardcoding
so if i would have to rename a function i always have to look for any variables that i have to change...
