How to get variable name like in php code?

Hi, I wonder how to get php variable name like in code?

echo "</pre>";
}

But I want get and var name to have result like this:

var: $array
Array (
[1] =a
[2] =b

)

Is there any solution?

Thanks

printr($foo, 'foo');

function printr($in, $name){
echo "<pre>";
echo 'var: ' . $name;
print_R($in);
echo "</pre>";
}

Thanks, but this solution is not for me.
Is there other method?
