note 60437 added to function.include

Does anyone know if PHP has a function to find out which script has included another, for example: "a.php" <?php include './b.php'; ?> "b.php" <?php // function to find out what script included b.php echo 'Hello world.'; ?> Such a function seems a bit pointless in such a simple script, but it could come in handy if one had a sitewide variables script. You could use a switch or if statment to load specific variables, which would be determined by which script included the variables page. For example: "variables.php" <?php switch ($includer) { case 'this_script.php': $this_variable = 'hello john'; break; case 'that_script.php': $that_variable = 'hello jane'; break; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60437 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60437&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60437&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
