Here, we will print the name of the method with the associated class name using magic constant __METHOD__, where it was declared. The __METHOD__ constant returns case sensitive method name.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to print the method name using magic constant __METHOD__ is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

<?php
    //PHP program to print the method name with the 
    //associated class using magic constant __METHOD__.
    class Sample
    {
        public function MyMethod()
        {
            print(__METHOD__."<br>");
        }
    }
    
    $S=new Sample();
    $S->MyMethod();
?>

Output:

Sample::MyMethod

Explanation:

In the above program, we created a class Sample that contains a function MyMethod(). In the MyMethod(), we printed the name of the method with the associated class name using the __METHOD__ magic constant. After that, we created the object of Sample class and called the method MyMethod() that will print the Name of the method with class name on the webpage.
