Re: feature request for __LINE__, __FILE__ and trigger_error

Hi, __FILE__ is compiled into a constant string by Zend. You can think of it as equivalent of putting a string with the filename there instead. It is constant. __CFILE__ would require runtime context (which function called us), so it makes no sense as a constant. Derick's xdebug extension will provide functions for this instead. - Stig On Wed, 2002-04-24 at 21:40, Michael Virnstein wrote: > an additional thought: > if __CFILE__ and __CLINE__ are used outside of > a function/method, both should be NULL. and trigger_error > should only overwrite its __FILE__ and __LINE__ settings, if > they are NOT NULL.
