Name of function ?

All,
This may sound silly, but, is there a way to get the name of the function
that is running from inside of the function ?
For example,

function test()
{
echo "i am running the ??? function";
}

__FUNCTION__

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...predefined.php

for PHP >= 4.3.0

function test()
{
$functionName = __FUNCTION__;
echo "i am running the $functionName function";
}
