Getting the name of calling function.

I guess the Subject is a little ambiguos. I want to get the
function
name which calls the target function.

Like

function xxx()
{
 ....
 ....
 yyy(2,3);

}

function zzz()
{
 ....
 yyy(5,6);
 .....

}

function yyy($a,$ab)
{
  ...
 ...
 echo "yyy() has been called by the function -
".$functionname;

}

Now how can I get the name of the function tat calls yyy().

This will be really useful for Error logging purposes.

I wonder what it is that you're trying to accomplish. 
Perhaps there's
an easier way?  I can't think of how to do what you're
asking, except
for sending an additional parameter to the function of the
calling
function's name hard-set.  Perhaps if you explain what you
need, we
can come up with a working scenario.

-backtrace.php

note that you will need php5 and if you haven't upgraded to
it yet  
now's a good time

debug_ backtrace is the function I was looking for. Thanks a
lot..
And adding the function name as a parameter does involve a
lot of
complexity, and we were about to use that idea previously..
But this
seems the perfect fit - the debug_backtrace() .. Tnx a lot.
