dynamic access magic constants in php
- by Radu
Hello,
Is there a way to shortcut this:
function a($where){
echo $where;
}
function b(){
a(basename(__FILE__).'::'.__FUNCTION__.'()::'.__LINE__);
}
to something like this:
define("__myLocation__", ''.basename(__FILE__).'::'.__FUNCTION__.'()::'.__LINE__.'');
function a($where){
echo $where;
}
function b(){
a(__mYLocation_);
}
I know that this cannot be done with constants (is just an theoretical example), but I can't find a way to shorthen my code. If a use a function to get my line it will get the line where that function is not the line from where the function was called.
I usualy call a function that prints directly to the log file, but in my log I need to know from where the function was called, so i use basename(__FILE__).'::'.__FUNCTION__.'()::'.__LINE__ this will print something like:
index.php::b()::6
It is a lot of code when you have over 500 functions in different files. Is there a shorten or better way to do this?
Thank you.
