1.2.648. Magic Constant Usage

There are eight magical constants that change depending on where they are used. For example, the value of __LINE__ depends on the line that it’s used on in your script. These special constants are case-insensitive.

• __LINE__

• __FILE__

• __DIR__

• __FUNCTION__

• __CLASS__

• __TRAIT__

• __METHOD__

• __NAMESPACE__

<?php

echo 'This code is in file '__FILE__.', line '.__LINE__;

?>
