Let's say I have the following 3 files global.php <? function myFunc() { echo __FILE__; } ?> one.php <? include( 'global.php' ); echo 'You are in file: '; myFunc(); ?> two.php <? include( 'global.php' ); echo 'You are in file: '; myFunc(); ?> In each case, what is echoed out for __FILE__ is global.php. Apart from analyzing the debug_backtrace array, is there any way that myFunc() would display "one.php" and "two.php" respectively? thnx, Christoph
