Need filename of declared object

[nutshell]

Yep, I need to find the filename an object was declared in.

file1.php-

require './file2.php';
$ob = new Ob;

file2.php-

class Ob {
     function Ob() {
          $this->called_from = somehow_get_filename_here();
     }
}

I need $this->called_from to be set to file1.php.

In Perl I can use caller like:

$self->{called_from} = (caller)[1];

Thanks in advance for any help possible 🙂

Could your objects contain a variable that stores the name of the file in which they were created?
I don't know if there is an existing PHP function to reference this, but you could have a variable hard-coded into each page that is that pages name, then your object could set its .called_from to this value/string, upon instantiation. Well, theoretically.

Yeah, but it sure would be nice to beable to do it automagickally 🙁

$this->called_from = FILE;

FILE will have the complete path so you might want to truncate it down to the file name.

Ah. Let me give that a try 🙂
