PHP: Get actual function name

Question

I got another problem: I'm just trying to make a nice and sweet log class, and now I'd also like to log the function name in which the program is.

But, to make it better code, is there a function to get the function name of the function which is just executing? It should look just as follows:

<?php
function test() {
    echo "We are in my function " . getFunctionName();
}
?>

And the output would be

We are in my function test()

Is something possible at all?

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

<?php

function test()
{
    echo "We are in my function " . __FUNCTION__;
}

?>

Answer 2

Yo can try....

__FUNCTION__

Answer 3

You should check PHP predefined constants: magic constants

Answer 4

It is possible. Use this:

echo __FUNCTION__;

Answer 5

not __FUNCTION__, but only debug_backtrace()

works well, especially if function is included in parents!!!....
