Knowing the name of a "parent" function.

Hey all I'm relatively new to PHP (arnt we all at some point eh?), but
I'm having trouble trying to establish if its possible to get the name
of a function that called another function. Confused ? Let me try
this ...

function funca () {

blah blah
blah blah

foobar ("a string");
}

function foobar ($string) {

print "Function foobar, called by function " ?????? );

}

Its the ?????? that I'm stuck on. I want the ???? to transpose to
"funca" if possible.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.
