Re: In need of better __FILE__, __LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ magic variables

Like you, I have many little functions that are useful for debugging in a page. The problem is that when you start to pepper them around, whilst debugging, you can often times forget where you left them. A search isn't always helpful since I sometimes leave them in the code, but commented out, so I end up finding dozens of matches. What I need are some variables that tell me the current calling file, line and function I'm in. Then when I see some debug info on the screen, I know exactly where it came from.

Use debug_backtrace() to capture the information from within the print_debug() or other deeper function. Just grab the second (or further) stack item that corresponds to the location where print_debug() was called. Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
