I'm working on some code that uses PHP's "variable variables" [0] and in the process of debugging, I'd really like to be able to print out not just the value but the *name* of a variable variable (e.g. in a loop, where it might not be obvious exactly which variable variable is the one being debugged). Is there some function that will allow me to do this?
