Easy, just use __LINE__. Surprised?

I use the __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, and __LINE__ constantly in my php
code, especially with database queries, which often go awry while
developing a web site. I have multiple class libraries and code
modules. All my database queries are handled by a 'SQL_operations'
class, and every method gets __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, and __LINE__
passed to it, so if any error occurs, I am emailed the details.
