Re: Function Call Line Number

Well, I don't know either but I was thinking about that... Usually this "$lineno = __LINE__" would be avaluated when the function is called, this mean it gives the __LINE__ of the function call itself. Why don't you try a more simple "include"/require instead of calling a funcion ?(see example) but maybe it will return the value "LINE 1" in the included file... I don't know... that is: ...code... include("line.php"); ...code... line.php -------- echo(__LINE__); "Jason G." <blair@nb.net> ha scritto nel messaggio news:5.1.0.14.0.20011114015822.02d3ec88@pop3.nb.net... > Hello, > > Does anyone know of a way, that from within a function, you can determine > what line number and file the function was called on? > > I did try: > function myfunc($lineno = __LINE__) > { > echo $lineno; > } > but this just outputted the very line that __LINE__ resides on. > > This would be very helpful in displaying sensible error messages, like the > native php functions do. > > Thanks, > > -Jason Garber > IonZoft.com >
