I really hate to write this question because I'm kind-of "research guy" and, well, I always find what I'm searching for... But this one bugs me a lot and I can't find the answer anywhere... So, here it goes:
As the title says I need to get a method name with the trailing class and namespace path as a string. I mean something like this: "System\Language\Text::loadLanguageCache"
.
As we know, you can get a class name (with full namespace path) by typing, i.e.: Text::class
and it returns "System\Language\Text"
, but is there a way to get this for a method? Something like: Text::loadLanguageCache::function
to get string: "System\Language\Text::loadLanguageCache"
?
Edit:
I think I should explain this further... I know about magic constant __METHOD__
but the problem is that it works inside the called method and I need this "outside the method".
Take this as example:
//in System\Helpers
function someFunction()
{ return __METHOD__; }
That's all OK with this if I call the function I'll get (let's assume that method is in System\Helpers
class) - "System\Helpers::someFunction"
. But what I want is this:
//in System\Helpers
function someFunction()
{ //some code... whatever }
// somewhere not in System\Helpers
function otherFunction()
{
$thatFunctionName = Helpers::someFunction::method //That imaginary thing I want
$thatClassName = Helpers::class; //this returns "System\Helpers"
}
I hope this cleared my question a bit :)
