Hi all!

Is it possible (in PHP4 and PHP5) to get the filename and line number of the
call to the current function? I need it for debugging purposes:

function query_DB($sql) {
... // do a query here

if ($query_failed)
write_to_log($fail_reason."; Called from ".$__CALLING_FILE__.
" line: ".__CALLING_LINE__);

... // return result
}

__FILE__ and __LINE__ are not good enough - they will always return the
address of query_DB() function, but I need the address where the function
was called (this is where the error comes from).

Any idea if this can be done?

Kind regards,

Anze
