Getting the name of a variable in a string

[Ge64]

Hi,

Is there a function that returns the name of the variable? Like:

[code]$variable_name = varname($somevariable);
//$variable_name == "somevariable"[/code]

The other way around would also work, like:

[code]$somevariable = variable('variable_name');
//$somevariable == $variable_name[/code]

Or is there any other way to get that? Thanks already :P

Nope.

??? Why not :-[

Edit:

Someone on another forum pointed me to [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php]variable variables[/url]. Thats exactly what I need :) thanks anyway

But that's not what you asked about...

Well not exactly but it does do something similar, that's why I said 'or any other way to do that'. Well maybe I should have posted more about what I'm trying to accomplish

dont get it are you trying to get somthink to happen when a varable name is called but you want the varable within the code to exec.

you need to use functions ok to call a varable within it.
