Oh, did I forget to mention that it's an open bar for everyone
*except* you, and that you'll be paying a mere seven-times the price
of normal drinks, with a 10 drink required minimum? ;-P

as I know. However, you can slightly modify your code to do this:
?php
function error ($func,$message) {
print The error message is $message;
print The function that called the error was: .$func.\n;
}
function bad_function($param) {
error (__FUNCTION__,This is dumb);
return false;
}
bad_function(blah);
?
I also placed that online in my code library (to which I always
forget to link, but have dozens of examples), along with a function to
list all of the user-level functions available to the current script.

[PHP] Getting the name of a function
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.
