Good evening. I would like to know if there is any way to get the name of the function being used, type this:
public function nome_funcao(){
$nome_funcao = $this -> "nome_funcao";
}
I do not know if it was clear, but I want to retrieve the function name inside the function I'm using. Is it possible?
__FUNCTION__ Starting with version 4.3.0 of PHP there is the magic constant % with% does exactly this function:
class Foo {
public function method()
{
echo __FUNCTION__ ;
}
}
$f = new Foo();
$f->method();
The above code returns __FUNCTION__ . See working at Repl.it or Ideone >.
method There is still the constant __METHOD__ , starting with version 5.0.0 of PHP, which can be used next to classes and the difference of it to __METHOD__ is that __FUNCTION__ returns the name of the class too. p>
class Foo {
public function method()
{
echo __METHOD__ ;
}
}
$f = new Foo();
$f->method();
The output will be:
Foo::method
Including the class name __METHOD__ .
It is interesting to note that when the executed method is inherited from a parent class, the class name returned by Foo will also be from the parent class, since it is where the method is defined.
class Bar
{
public function method()
{
echo __METHOD__;
}
}
class Foo extends Bar {}
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->method();
The output will be __METHOD__ even if the object is an instance of Bar::method .
