#21194 [NEW]: compiler time constant $_BUG_ROWNUMBER

From: odarcan@hotmail.com Operating system: windows xp PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: compiler time constant $_BUG_ROWNUMBER Hi, bug tracking can be very difficult when you dont know where the problem is. i propose that you create a special constant or variable like: $_BUG_ROWNUMBER and this variable (or const) will be given (at execution time) a value that represents the position OF the variable IN the php document. for example, here the output from the die contstruct would be "error on line 3" <? echo "blabla"; mysql_query("wrong query") or die ("error on line ".$_BUG_ROWNUMBER); ?> as you can see this would be very useful when debugging as you otherwise have to change every error message so that they will become a unique message and that you can be sure on which line it is.. thanks for your time, Osman Darcan -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21194&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21194&r=isapi
