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,

Hi Christoph,

I believe __FILE__ is resolved at compile time, not run-time which means what you're seeing is expected behavior. I'm not sure how you'd get the name of the file that a function call was made from.

Could you explain why you need this information in your application, and perhaps someone might offer an alternative solution?

Regards,

Nilesh
