How to: Get function caller's name? 1

[thenewa2x]

This is an example:

function example_func_1 ( )
{
  example_func_3();
}

function example_func_2 ( )
{
  example_func_3();
}

function example_func_3 ( )
{
  // I want this function to print out who called it,
  // example_func_1 or example_func_2.  I want it to
  // be dynamic therefore no arguments need to be passed
  // to identify who called it.  This way I can write more
  // functions and they will still be identified without
  // modifying example_func_3().

  print("example_func_3() was called by: " . something );
}

I also want to be able to do this will class methods:

class example_class
{

  function example_func_1 ( )
  {
    $this->example_func_3();
  }

  function example_func_2 ( )
  {
    $this->example_func_3();
  }

  function example_func_3 ( )
  {
    print("\$this->example_func_3() was called by: " . something );
  }

}

I hope I gave enough detail about what I want.
