I've checked google and the PHP manual, with no results,
so i thought i'd ask here:
Is there any functionality in PHP to allow a function to
find out what function/file/line called it? AFAIK, perl
can do this, and i've always found it a big help when
debugging to have functions die with a call to a standard
error handler.
(for example)
function one() {
if ($badstuff)
death("I died for this reason");
}
i know that calling death(__FILE__, __LINE__) will
accomplish this, but i really don't want to do that.
thanks in advance.
