How to get absolute path of file.php inside call() ?

Pay attention that call() may be defined in another file.

another.php:

function call(){..}

file.php:

include(path_to_another.php);
call();

Answer 1

You can also get the basename for the file, like so;

basename(__FILE__);

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

no way except debug_backtrace

function whatever() {
    $t = debug_backtrace();
    echo "called from {$t[0]['file']}";
}
