How to get name of calling function/method in PHP?

I am aware of function debug_backtrace, but I am looking for some ready to use implementation of function like GetCallingMethodName()? It would be perfect if it gave method's class too (if it is indeed a method).

Solution

  • The debug_backtrace() function is the only way to know this, if you're lazy it's one more reason you should code the GetCallingMethodName() yourself. Fight the laziness! :D
