Can you get a method name from within a method in PHP?

Sure, you want the magic constants.

function myFunction() { print __FUNCTION__." in ".__FILE__." at ".__LINE__."\n"; }

Find out more from the php manual

While you can use the magic constant __METHOD__ I would highly recommend checking out PHP's reflection. This is supported in PHP5.

$modelReflector = new ReflectionClass(__CLASS__);$method = $modelReflector->getMethod(__METHOD__);

You can then do kick-ass stuff like inspect the signature, etc.

As smartj suggested you can try the magic constant __METHOD__, but remember that this will return a string containing also your class name, i.e. 'MyClass::something'. Using __FUNCTION__ instead will return 'something'.
