What I am trying to do is create an error message within in a string that whenever each function fails it echos this particular string out with it's pertinent information.
i.e. <? $error_string = "Warning: unable to complete query in ".__FUNCTION__."name in ".__FILE__; function some_funct($var) { global $error_string; //doing something //error detected echo $error_string; } ?> Does this sounds feasible or is there another way to generate a dynamic error message without giving the user to much information about the error if it occurs? -josh "Cc Zona" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Joshua E Minnie) wrote: > > > Does anybody know of any constants or predefined functions that will > > retrieve the calling functions name?
