name of the calling method

gizz

Hi,

I'd like to get the name of the calling method. I can't find the solution.
For example :

function MyFct()
{
return TheOtherFct() ;
}

function TheOtherFct()
{
echo "Hi, the calling method is ..." ;
return true ;
}

MyFct() ;
Thank you for your help,

gizz

{

print_r(debug_backtrace()); // It's in there somewhere

echo "Hi, the calling method is ..." ;
return true ;
}

MyFct() ;

see http://fi2.php.net/debug_backtrace for documentation

Hi, just check if the output of debug_backtrace fullfill your expectations.
