Question

I have a class admin_model with the private method admin_form()

There are a number of other public functions that call this method.

Is there a way to get the name of the function that called admin_form() from INSIDE admin_form()?

I could easily add an argument when calling admin_form() like:

$this -> admin_form(__FUNCTION__);

then inside admin_form($caller) I have the caller. It will be $caller

But i was hoping there was a way to do this WITHOUT passing arguments.

Any Ideas??

Cheers,
Alex

Answer 1

No matter,

For my requirement this functionality is useful rather that ‘bad coding’.

Anyway the answer is:

$e = new Exception();
$trace = $e -> getTrace();
$caller = $trace[1]["function"];

This will get the function name of the caller.
