Does PHP have a preprocessor like C / C++?

[roopurt18]

I have a function that should receive as it's arguments some of the magic constants (__FILE__, __LINE__, etc.).  I'd like to be lazy and not have to remember the order of the arguments.  Is there any way I can set up the function call like a #define in C / C++ so that it is replaced in the PHP file but not actually called in the define()?

Thanks!

I don't have an answer for your question, but if the function is going to use magic constants then why are you passing the values? Just call the values from within the function and you don't need to pass any values.

I need the function to use the values at the point of the function call, not within the function itself.

Of course, makes sense.

Just use debug_backtrace() to see what the line number and such were at the function call.
