When creating code that reports errors, it would be very helpful to have a function which returns the name of the currently executing function (or class method). You could perhaps name the function "func_get_name()", which would fit in nicely with the existing PHP functions "func_get_arg()", "func_get_args()", and "func_num_args()". Example usage: function foo() { if ( some error condition ) { ErrorHandler("An error occurrend in function " . func_get_name() ); } } If there is another (existing) way to accomplish this, please let me know. Thank you for your consideration (and thanks for PHP) - Jim Ide jide@lgb-inc.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=9423&edit=1
