Is there a way to get and store the name of a referenced variable into another variable? Example... $varname = "blah"; checkit($varname); function checkit(&$name) { ...code... } In the function above, I'd like to find out the name of the referenced variable (pointed to by $name) which should equal "varname" so I can store this string in another variable (i.e., $thename = "varname"). Is there a way to do this in PHP?? Thanks.
