How to get a variable name as a string in PHP?

Question

Say i have this PHP code:

$FooBar = \"a string\";

i then need a function like this:

print_var_name($FooBar);

I really fail to see the use case... If you will type print_var_name($foobar) what's so hard (and different) about typing print("foobar") instead?

Because even if you were to use this in a function, you'd get the local name of the variable...

In any case, here's the reflection manual in case there's something you need in there.
