Get method name from within the method in PHP

Question

Is it possible to do something like this?

public function something() {
    $thisMethodName = method_get_name(); 
}

Where method_get_name() returns the name of the method itself.

Sure, you want the magic constants.

function myFunction() { print __FUNCTION__." in ".__FILE__." at ".__LINE__."\n"; }
