This reminded me of an issue I've kind of been contemplating
for a couple of weeks now... I got sick of having to
connect, query, check for errors, etc. every time I wanted
to query a mysql database, so I wrote a function to do all
of it for me... something like:
function query_db($queryString, $file, $line) {
// do db stuff
// if error, die using $file and $line (actually using
constants __FILE__ and __LINE__ only tell me that it died in
this function)
// return results of query
}
Now, to call the function I've been using:
$result = query_db("SELECT * FROM myTable", __FILE__,
__LINE__);
It'd be nice to be able to get __FILE__ and __LINE__ where
the function was called without passing them as parameters.
Even if I could just define a macro _HERE_ to expand into
__FILE__, __LINE__ it would save me some time...
I know it sounds lazy, but if there was a way so I could
just call
$result = query_db("SELECT * FROM myTable");
it'd be so much nicer...
PS - I don't want to get into db abstraction and all that...
I just wonder if what I'm talking about is easy/possible.
Thanks for input -
