Thanks guys, this is just what I needed ! I'm just surprised that this does not seem to be really documented anywhere. The only place where I could find this is in the "Reserved Keywords" section of the manual, where __FILE__, __LINE__ , "const" and "use" do not have links to explanatory pages of their own.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.php I've submitted a comment (user note) to this page in regard to __FILE__ and would be happy if my comment or some version thereof is used as the doc page for this keyword (I guess I could set this up myself, I just don't know how). However, wouldn't it make more sense if __FILE__ and __LINE__ were in the "Constants" section rather than in "Reserved Keywords" ? Another note -- these two keywords are impossible (I think) to find through a direct search because it strips the underscores, and the search returns some unrelated pages. M.
