I think the easiest way to accomplish this would be instead of assigning to
a variable, assign it to an associative array. This way you can name the
array whatever you'd like and cycle through the name using a foreach loop.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Output name of Variable



It seems like it would be helpful if there were a way to grab the name
assigned to a variable and output it. Is there already a function like this?

I would use this mainly for tracing and reporting. So, if I had a simple
function show_variable($var), it would not only output the value assigned to
the variable, but would also show the name of the variable itself.

Am I missing it?
