#21155 [Opn->Bgs]: Macro Request

ID: 21155 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: james at grickle dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Slackware-current (12/22/02) PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Maybe it would, but that is not the way __FILE__ and __LINE__ work. Simply use them as they are now: They always return the current file and line - no more no less.

It would help a lot when you need to run __LINE__ and/or __FILE__ constants through a function. A simplified version of what I'd need them for. Currently I have: errOut([severity], [message]); Every time I use errOut I have __FILE__ and __LINE__ in the message: define(FATAL, 7); errOut(FATAL, __FILE__ . ": " . __LINE__ . ": Database error bla bla bla"); It could be shortened up by something like this: mdefine("DOERR", "errOut($1, __FILE__ . ': ' . __LINE__ . ': ' . $2)"); DOERR(FATAL,"Database Error bla bla bla"); This could be used for more vital things than that of course. Anything along those lines would be great. Thank You, James Harr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21155&edit=1
