Richard is right. If you want to get where __FILE__ is exactly in, __FILE__ is the option. Else, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

Yes, I am.

I often use the above function when debugging code. It prints detailed
information about where it was called. I have something similar in my
error handler but it's not as concise for error related reasons.
It doesn't strike me as an issue that it's a heavy function since it's
used in a debugging context or when an error is present. In which case,
it shouldn't be called in production at least not often :)
Cheers,
Rob.

I'm far from being an expert, and often see more efficient ways of doing
things (more efficient tham my own methods). Howevr, I've just been dealing
with a similar problem.
I have a functions file with over 400 functions (and that may be too many -
but it works). I've been adding some error reporting in to my PEAR::DB
queries, but wanted to know which page triggered the function. I went
theough my php pages and gane each one a $pg variable at the start
containing the bare name of the file, eg 'home' rather than 'home.php'. I
then went to each function containing either a DB query (ore one which calls
another DB-related function. I did a global search and replace for the
function name 'func(' replaced by 'func($pg,'. I use Dreamweaver so this was
fairly straightforward.
It worked for me, but now someone is about to show me a quicker, cleaner
way, aren't they?
Cheers, and seasonal greetings from Oxford/Edinburgh

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and other bits in $_SERVER have the "main" PHP
filename in them.
__FILE__ will always be exactly the file that it's in.
In between, I think you are stuck with the debug_backtrace.
NOTE:
If it's for error logging or error reporting, note that trigger_error
automatically passes in the file/line to the error handler.
