how can i get the name of the called function?

[Steffel]

hi all,
i'm searching for a posibility to get the name of a function within this function.
its easier to explain in a code example:

class myClass
{
function myFunction()
{
echo $name_of_this_function;
}
}

$test = new myClass();
$test->myFunction();

now the output should be "myFunction"
can somebody help me plz?

Actually, since the function name isnt dynamic, why cant you simply output it?

Or you could 'cheat' by having some member variable that stores the most recently called function's name in the object.

i got a cms-system with many beans, e.g. the user-bean
including get- and set-methods for every database-field

now i want to log every change of userdata.
therefore i need to know which function was called, so that i can comprehend WHICH data has been changed.

of course it would be possible to handle this with an output in every function, but there are to many functions, so that this solution would be to laboriuos and obstructive in relation to reusability and easiness of maintenance

but sure, if theres no other way to get the name of the calling function there will be no other choice...
