realpath(__FILE__) will give you the absolute path on the server of the
current file, which is unique. Why you want that for what you're doing I
have no idea, but it's the only unique identifier I can think of that isn't a
variable or constant. (Well, it is a constant, but you get the idea. I
suppose.)
The fact that you even want something like that, however, scares me.

of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
