For my own amusement, I'm writing a function that will print out detailed error messages for an API that I'm creating for a minor project. One of the pieces of information I'd like to return would be the name of the function that called the error function. For example:<?php function error ($message) { print "The error message is $message"; print "The function that called the error was: [INSERT COOL CODE HERE]"; } function bad_function($param) { error ("This is dumb"); return false; } bad_function("blah"); ?> Ideally this script would print this out: The error message is This is dumb The function that called the error was bad_function I know that I could pass the name of the function as a parameter to the error() function (e.g. error("bad_function","This is dumb")) but I'd rather keep it simpler than that. Is there a way to do this?
Try get_defined_functions() Also, remember __LINE__ and __FILE__ They help a lot to find out where something went wrong.
