1.2.651. 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__;

?>
