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.
