Howdy, I was thinking about tweaking the var_dump/print_r functions to provide the name of the variable being dumped. Is there a way to look that up? from the active_symbol_table-- ?
<?php $a = "something"; $b = &$a; // $b refers to the same zval as $a print_r($b); // function gets only the zval reference
               // how should it be able to find out if you
               // passed $a or $b ?
