No.
And there cannot be, as any given variable could have multiple
references and be passed around through several functions, getting a
different name each time.
You probably should be putting 'foo' and 'abc' into an array instead.
$foobar['foo'] = 'abc';
You can then address 'foo' and 'abc' with various array functions.
