is it possible to determine method that calls other method ?

Is it possible to determine method that calls another method ?
for example:

class A {
private function One() {
// do something depending on calling method
}

public function Two() {
return $this->One();
}

public function Three() {
return $this->One();
}
}

Apart from including method (__METHOD__) in function call: $this-
>One(__METHOD__) ?

Pugi!

Class that can create, modify, delete, move a file (physical) and its
extensive metadata (database). A validate method for the input (an
array) will be different for each action, but not completely. The
calling method could be the means to distinguish between them.

No, but why would you want to? If you want to do something different,
create a different method.

Then you should have different validate methods, and call the
appropriate one. Your code will be much cleaner.

use info from debug_backtrace()

But I think this is bad way. Try to rewrite your code to avoid this.

You could pass the name of the caller (or whatever you want to identify
the caller with) as a parameter.

$this->One("Fred");
$this->One("Barney");

It would make more sense than a raw method name anyway.
