Some developer tool for better messages? For the general case of $someVar->method()['key1']['key2'] == 'baz' there is no good solution (well, you could try to analyze the current opcode array, try to find current opline in there and do magic, but that's quite crazy and notable effort) For the simple case you can look at Joe's example on how to iterate over the current symbol table, and if need be combine that with a recursive search (mind infinite recursion caused by references) but there the effort makes it questionable whether the information gained brings value ... johannes
