RE: [PHP] Hello $variable, whats your name?

I would like to know if there is a way to determine the name of a variable. Example: I have the variable $firstname, with a value of Jon I want to be able to echo name_of_variable : value_of_variable; So the user would see firstname : Jon I want to be able to do this without knowing what variables will be passed to the PHP script in advance.
