Good question. I've tried the __LINE__ and __FILE__ in my error-handling, but it does the same thing you're experiencing, getting the line in the function/method as opposed to the actual error line. The only way I've gone around it is whenever there may be an exception, such as a sql statement, etc I assign $line_no = __LINE__ and if an exception gets thrown, the $line_no is captured, and I can use the info to print to the logs or the screen or ...

Here is some code i have public function command($cmd) { if($cmd) { $res = fputs($this->connection, $cmd); $this->response = fgets($this->connection, 128); switch($this->getCode()) { case 500: throw new CommandException($cmd); break; } } } public function selectGroup($group) { $this->group = $group; if(substr($this->response,0,3) == "200") { THIS IS THE LINE THAT THROWS THE ERROR $this->command("NoSuchCommand\n"); $this->response = fgets($this->connection, 1024); } $info = split(" ", $this->response); $this->first = $info[2]; $this->last = $info[3]; } now when the error is thrown and i do $e->getLine(); it shows the line of the file where the throw statement is. Is there a way to make it show the actual line number of the line that is the error? the $this->command("NoSuchCommand\n"); line. -- Joseph Crawford Jr. Codebowl Solutions codebowl@xxxxxxxxx 802-558-5247 For a GMail account contact me OFF-LIST -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
