#33894 [NEW]: __MAIN_FILE__ constant

From: marcos dot neves at gmail dot com Operating system: any PHP version: 5.1.0b3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: __MAIN_FILE__ constant Description: ------------ Today we have __FILE__ constant, that has the string fileName of the current scrit. Would be nice a constant __MAIN_FILE__, wich has the file name of the first requested PHP file. So would be possible to do things like this, without use of external library, and is interesting to everyone: Reproduce code: --------------- <? // class File class Foo {} if(__MAIN_FILE__ == __FILE__) { // run some tests and usabe examples with Foo } ?> or used to include relative paths to an application, without define constants <? // included script require_once dirname(__MAIN_FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "path/to/include/file.php"; ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33894&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33894&r=mysqlcfg
