To get the current function name in PHP, the code is as follows−
Example
<?php
class Base {
function display() {
echo "\nBase class function declared final!";
var_dump(__FUNCTION__);
}
function demo() {
echo "\nBase class function!";
}
}
class Derived extends Base {
function demo() {
echo "\nDerived class function!";
}
}
$ob = new Base;
$ob->demo();
$ob->display();
$ob2 = new Derived;
$ob2->demo();
$ob2->display();
?>Output
This will produce the following output−
Base class function! Base class function declared final!string(7) "display" Derived class function! Base class function declared final!string(7) "display"
Example
Let us now see another example −
<?php
class Base {
function display() {
echo "\nBase class function declared final!";
var_dump(__FUNCTION__);
}
function demo() {
echo "\nBase class function!";
var_dump(__METHOD__);
}
}
class Derived extends Base {
function demo() {
echo "\nDerived class function!";
}
}
$ob = new Base;
$ob->demo();
$ob->display();
$ob2 = new Derived;
$ob2->demo();
$ob2->display();
?>Output
This will produce the following output−
Base class function!string(10) "Base::demo" Base class function declared final!string(7) "display" Derived class function! Base class function declared final!string(7) "display"
