Question

Suppose I have the following code:

class siteMS  {     ...     function __CONSTRUCT()      {         require 'config.php';         $this->config = new siteMSConfig;         ...      }     ...  } 

From inside the siteMSConfig class can I determine weather or not it is being called from inside the siteMS class?

Answer 1

Yes, but there’s no ‘pretty’ way to do it – you’ll end up looking through a backtrace or something similar.

It would be better to pass an (optional?) parameter to the siteMSConfig constructor like this:

class siteMSConfig {     public function __construct($inSiteMS = false)     {     } } 

or alternatively, subclass siteMSConfig:

class siteMSsiteMSConfig extends siteMSConfig {     public function __construct()     {         // Possibly call parent::__construct();     } }
