I'm creating a log function that will log my errors in a file.
I thought it will contain which class and method the error occurred in.
Is there a way of logging in which class and method the error occurred in so I don't have to type it manually each time?
I'm not big on PHP but I believe it has "magic constants" similar to C/C++. Take a look here: This seems to indicate you could use
__LINE__, __FILE__, __FUNCTION__, __CLASS__, and __METHOD__
get_called_class() get's the current class. This might also be interesting: debug_print_backtrace().
In Laravel 5 CLASS was returning namespace and class name, so it was a large string. So this is how you get current Class without all that other stuff:
echo (new \ReflectionClass($this))->getShortName();
