你也可以使用php异常提供的信息，这是一个优雅的解决方案:

function GetCallingMethodName(){
    $e = new Exception();
    $trace = $e->getTrace();
    //position 0 would be the line that called this function so we ignore it
    $last_call = $trace[1];
    print_r($last_call);
}

function firstCall($a, $b){
    theCall($a, $b);
}

function theCall($a, $b){
    GetCallingMethodName();
}

firstCall('lucia', 'php');

你会得到这个…(瞧!)

Array
(
    [file] => /home/lufigueroa/Desktop/test.php
    [line] => 12
    [function] => theCall
    [args] => Array
        (
            [0] => lucia
            [1] => php
        )

)

获取父函数名最简单的方法是:

$caller = next(debug_backtrace())['function'];

debug_backtrace()函数是知道这一点的唯一方法，如果你很懒，这是你应该自己编写GetCallingMethodName()的另一个原因。战胜懒惰!: D

我刚刚写了一个名为“get_caller”的版本，我希望它能有所帮助。我的爸爸很懒。你可以从函数中运行get_caller()，你不需要像这样指定它:

get_caller(__FUNCTION__);

下面是完整的脚本和一个古怪的测试用例:

<?php

/* This function will return the name string of the function that called $function. To return the
    caller of your function, either call get_caller(), or get_caller(__FUNCTION__).
*/
function get_caller($function = NULL, $use_stack = NULL) {
    if ( is_array($use_stack) ) {
        // If a function stack has been provided, used that.
        $stack = $use_stack;
    } else {
        // Otherwise create a fresh one.
        $stack = debug_backtrace();
        echo "\nPrintout of Function Stack: \n\n";
        print_r($stack);
        echo "\n";
    }

    if ($function == NULL) {
        // We need $function to be a function name to retrieve its caller. If it is omitted, then
        // we need to first find what function called get_caller(), and substitute that as the
        // default $function. Remember that invoking get_caller() recursively will add another
        // instance of it to the function stack, so tell get_caller() to use the current stack.
        $function = get_caller(__FUNCTION__, $stack);
    }

    if ( is_string($function) && $function != "" ) {
        // If we are given a function name as a string, go through the function stack and find
        // it's caller.
        for ($i = 0; $i < count($stack); $i++) {
            $curr_function = $stack[$i];
            // Make sure that a caller exists, a function being called within the main script
            // won't have a caller.
            if ( $curr_function["function"] == $function && ($i + 1) < count($stack) ) {
                return $stack[$i + 1]["function"];
            }
        }
    }

    // At this stage, no caller has been found, bummer.
    return "";
}

// TEST CASE

function woman() {
    $caller = get_caller(); // No need for get_caller(__FUNCTION__) here
    if ($caller != "") {
        echo $caller , "() called " , __FUNCTION__ , "(). No surprises there.\n";
    } else {
        echo "no-one called ", __FUNCTION__, "()\n";
    }
}

function man() {
    // Call the woman.
    woman();
}

// Don't keep him waiting
man();

// Try this to see what happens when there is no caller (function called from main script)
//woman();

?>

Man()调用woman()，后者调用get_caller()。Get_caller()还不知道是谁调用了它，因为woman()很谨慎，没有告诉它，所以它递归查找。然后返回谁调用了woman()。在浏览器中以源代码模式的打印输出显示了函数堆栈:

Printout of Function Stack: 

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [file] => /Users/Aram/Development/Web/php/examples/get_caller.php
            [line] => 46
            [function] => get_caller
            [args] => Array
                (
                )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [file] => /Users/Aram/Development/Web/php/examples/get_caller.php
            [line] => 56
            [function] => woman
            [args] => Array
                (
                )

        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [file] => /Users/Aram/Development/Web/php/examples/get_caller.php
            [line] => 60
            [function] => man
            [args] => Array
                (
                )

        )

)

man() called woman(). No surprises there.

我所见过的这个问题的最佳答案是:

list(, $caller) = debug_backtrace(false);

简洁明了

最简单的方法是:

echo debug_backtrace()[1]['function'];

正如下面的评论所指出的，可以通过将参数传递给:

省略object和args索引 限制返回的堆栈帧数

echo debug_backtrace(!DEBUG_BACKTRACE_PROVIDE_OBJECT|DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS,2)[1]['function'];
