Calling Functions & Filenames

[pcthug]

Hia, is there a more efficent method of retrieving the line number and script filename in the literal call of a function then this?

// call to function
error((__LINE__), (__FILE__), 'some error...');

function error($line_num, $filename, $error_msg, $error_type = E_USER_WARNING) {
 // 

Any insight or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

i'm pretty sure using a constant is extremely efficient...

Code-execution-wise, this may not be more efficient, but it potentially gives you a few more pieces of information to work with:

error(debug_backtrace(), "Oops, I did it again!");

function error($debug, $error_msg, $error_type = E_USER_WARNING)
{
  print_r($debug);
}
