Hi,

Basically, this would follow along the same lines as __FILE__ and __LINE__, these macros would return the current function and class -- especially usefull for quick debugging of inherited classes.

It would also be incredibly usefull to be able to get the details of the calling function, perhaps via __CALLING_*__, just to make add a more professional edge to custom classes.

Keep up the good work!

Stewart.

Ok, __FUNC__ and __CLASS__ are in, but what about the details of the calling context?

ZE2 has this kind of functionality with debug_backtrace(), for PHP 4.1.2 - 4.3.0de) you can use the xdebug extension from http://www.jdimedia.nl/derick/xdebug.php
