[PHP] getting a function name of the calling function

[Joshua E Minnie]

Does anybody know of any constants or predefined functions that will
retrieve the calling functions name?  For example:

?
function new_func($somedata) {
  echo I am function .get_func_name();
}
?

 Does anybody know of any constants or predefined functions that will
 retrieve the calling functions name?  For example:

 ?
 function new_func($somedata) {
   echo I am function .get_func_name();
 }
 ?

I don't believe there is anything setup to pass the name of a parent
function to a child function.  However you could always pass the parent
function's name to the child function as a normal parameter.

Sincerely,

Craig Vincent

I actually need it to print out the name of itself for error detection
purposes.

  Does anybody know of any constants or predefined functions that will
  retrieve the calling functions name?  For example:
 
  ?
  function new_func($somedata) {
echo I am function .get_func_name();
  }
  ?

This example should print out:
I am function new_func

Is this possible?

No, not with any PHP function I see in the manual. Can you explain why
you need to do this?

You can call a function name with a variable. Like for your example

$variable = new_func;

$variable(data);

That'll work. Explain what your trying to do and we can probably help
you find a better approach.

I don't know of a way to print out the function name. But for error
detection purposes, can you use __FILE__ and __LINE__ as alternatives? For
example:

echo I am line . __LINE__ .  at file  . __FILE__ . \n;
