how to get file name from which current executing file is invoked???

[vishal]

hi

how can i get the file name from which the current executing file is
called.
i m making a scrript which will be called from many other scripts.
this script performs some calculation and then returns the result to
the script who asked for. so i want to know the script name of caller
script in the current executing script

thxs for your help in advance.

Dump phpinfo(32) and you'll probably see the info you are looking for.

I don't get it. Why do you need to know the caller? If you
include/require the "script library" return value/output will get back
to the caller automatically.

I agree, I'd make the called file an include/require, but if this is
not possible for whatever reason then you should be able to do
something with $_SERVER["HTTP_REFER ER"] and extract the name of the
calling file from that.

Will in that case I would add an extra form element/get paramter/header
to the request to tell the script who called it. referrer is totally
unreliable.

debug_backtrace () will give you the info. In general though, it's not a good
practice to use includes in lieu of functions. Better to wrap the code in a
function, and have the calling code pass a parameter explicitly stating the
required behavior/results.

Lots of these:

echo "<!-- page = $page -->";
or
echo "<!-- function showForm -->";

Low tech but works in a pinch if you are outputting to html.
