PHP Question

If there a way to get the name of the current function? For example,
assume $ErrorList is an object I created to handle all my errors. When an
error takes place, I add the error info to the $ErrorList object, and I
can later use that object for reporting to the user, or to a log file.

<?php

function getSomeData($var1, $var2) { // lines of code // … if ($var1
== “”) { // THIS IS WHERE I WANT THE FUNCTION NAME:
$ErrorList->Add(“Var1 must be specified!”, “<FUNCTION_NAME>
LINE”); } }

?>

Having the function name would be very useful for tracking down bugs.
(we’re talking about a codebase of 200,000 lines)

$ErrorList->Add(“Var1 must be specified!”, “<getSomeData> LINE”);
