[RESOLVED] Calling script: is there a way to find out which script is calling a function?

[sherry]

Hello.

Is there a way, e.g. a function, to find out which script is calling a particular function? I'm looking for something, in principle, similar to dirname() or getcwd() or whatever I can use to determine this.

I want to add it as part of a condition e.g. 'if' /dir/xyz.php is calling this function which is located in /includes/abc.php, then don't do this...

Thanks in advance.

You could use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], though I'd be more inclined to do something like adding an optional parameter to the function and having the including script call it with some meaningful value for that parameter if you need it to do something different. That way you won't get shot in the foot if you (or someone else) renames any of the files in question for some reason.

THAT DID IT! THANKS!

P.S. I'll probably use your other suggestion as needed. Sounds like a good idea. 🆒
