Answer 2

Hi,

I don't think you can do that : the __FILE__ magic constant indicates in which file it is written ; and that is all.

If you want to know which PHP script was initially called (which URL was requested, for instance), you might have more luck looking at the $_SERVER superglobal : it contains many informations, including some that will help you (like SCRIPT_FILENAME or SCRIPT_NAME, for instance) ;-)
