Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-01 09:58:25] henno.taht@japauto.ee Is it available yet? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-29 18:50:24] sniper@php.net Yes, use __FUNCTION__ :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-29 17:07:16] henno.taht@japauto.ee Duplicate of 8576 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-29 16:56:16] henno.taht@japauto.ee There should be a function which returns current functions name. EXAMPLE: function foo(){ debug("Entering function ". func_get_name() ."<br>"); // Function definition here. } function debug($msg){ echo "<span class=debughdr>Debug information: </span>"; echo "<span class=debugmsg>$msg</span>"; } I think func_get_name would be an appropriate name. At least that was the name I looked for it. I don't know any workaround nor how to make user defined function providing this functionality but after asking Experts Exchange I've convinced that I'm not the only one requiring this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18067&edit=1
