As a note, get_defined_vars() does not return a set of variable references (as I hoped). For example:
<?php
// define a variable
$my_var = "foo";
// get our list of defined variables
$defined_vars = get_defined_vars();
// now try to change the value through the returned array
$defined_vars["my_var"] = "bar";
echo $my_var, "\n";
?>
will output "foo" (the original value). It'd be nice if get_defined_vars() had an optional argument to make them references, but I imagine its a rather specialized request. You can do it yourself (less conveniently) with something like:
<?php
$defined_vars = array();
$var_names = array_keys(get_defined_vars());
foreach ($var_names as $var_name)
{
$defined_vars[$var_name] =& $$var_name;
}
?>
get_defined_vars
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
get_defined_vars — Liste toutes les variables définies
Description
array get_defined_vars
( void
)
get_defined_vars() retourne un tableau multidimensionnel contenant la liste de toutes les variables définies, qu'elles soient des variables d'environnement, de serveur ou définies par l'utilisateur dans la portée d'appel de la fonction get_defined_vars().
Valeurs de retour
Un tableau multidimensionnel contenant toutes les variables.
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec get_defined_vars()
<?php
$b = array(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8);
$arr = get_defined_vars();
// Affiche $b
print_r($arr["b"]);
/* Affiche le chemin vers l'interpréteur PHP (Si utilisé en tant que CGI)
* e.g. /usr/local/bin/php */
echo $arr["_"];
// Affiche les paramètres de la ligne de commande s'il y en a
print_r($arr["argv"]);
// Affiche toutes les variables serveur
print_r($arr["_SERVER"]);
// Affiche toutes les clés disponibles du tableau de variables
print_r(array_keys(get_defined_vars()));
?>

Here's a very simple function for debugging. It's far from perfect but I find it very handy. It outputs the var value and the var name on a new line. The problem is it'll echo any vars and their name if they share the same value. No big deal when debugging and saves the hassle of writing the HTML and var name when echoing a variable. (ev=echo variable). Using get_defined_vars() inside a function renames the var name to the functions variable so isn't as useful for debugging. Of course, you'll need access to the $GLOBALS array
<?
function ev($variable){
foreach($GLOBALS as $key => $value){
if($variable===$value){
echo '<p>'.$key.' - '.$value.'</p>';
}
}
}
$a=0;
ev($a);
$b=0;
ev($b);
$c=0;
ev($c);
?>
Will output
a - 0
a - 0
b - 0
a - 0
b - 0
c - 0

After a fruitless attempt find a built-in function whic did this, I wrote this functions to find out all the variables (well, those I wanted) in current scope and their values. I believe this is going to be handy in debugging.
<?php
/**
* @desc works out the variables in the current scope(from where function was called).
* Returns an array with variable name as key and vaiable value as value
* @param $varList: variables returned by get_defined_vars() in desired scope.
* $excludeList: variables to be excluded from the list.
* @return array
*/
function getDefinedVars($varList, $excludeList)
{
$temp1 = array_values(array_diff(array_keys($varList), $excludeList));
$temp2 = array();
while (list($key, $value) = each($temp1)) {
global $$value;
$temp2[$value] = $$value;
}
return $temp2;
}
/**
* @desc holds the variable that are to be excluded from the list.
* Add or drop new elements as per your preference.
* @var array
*/
$excludeList = array('GLOBALS', '_FILES', '_COOKIE', '_POST', '_GET', 'excludeList');
//some dummy variables; add your own or include a file.
$firstName = 'kailash';
$lastName = 'Badu';
$test = array('Pratistha', 'sanu', 'fuchhi');
//get all variables defined in current scope
$varList = get_defined_vars();
//Time to call the function
print "<pre>";
print_r(getDefinedVars($varList, $excludeList));
print "</pre>";
?>

A little gotcha to watch out for:
If you turn off RegisterGlobals and related, then use get_defined_vars(), you may see something like the following:
<?php
Array
(
[GLOBALS] => Array
(
[GLOBALS] => Array
*RECURSION*
[_POST] => Array()
[_GET] => Array()
[_COOKIE] => Array()
[_FILES] => Array()
)
[_POST] => Array()
[_GET] => Array()
[_COOKIE] => Array()
[_FILES] => Array()
)
?>
Notice that $_SERVER isn't there. It seems that php only loads the superglobal $_SERVER if it is used somewhere. You could do this:
<?php
print '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars(print_r(get_defined_vars(), true)) . '</pre>';
print '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars(print_r($_SERVER, true)) . '</pre>';
?>
And then $_SERVER will appear in both lists. I guess it's not really a gotcha, because nothing bad will happen either way, but it's an interesting curiosity nonetheless.

Here is a function which generates a debug report for display or email
using get_defined_vars. Great for getting a detailed snapshot without
relying on user input.
<?php
function generateDebugReport($method,$defined_vars,$email="undefined"){
// Function to create a debug report to display or email.
// Usage: generateDebugReport(method,get_defined_vars(),email[optional]);
// Where method is "browser" or "email".
// Create an ignore list for keys returned by 'get_defined_vars'.
// For example, HTTP_POST_VARS, HTTP_GET_VARS and others are
// redundant (same as _POST, _GET)
// Also include vars you want ignored for security reasons - i.e. PHPSESSID.
$ignorelist=array("HTTP_POST_VARS","HTTP_GET_VARS",
"HTTP_COOKIE_VARS","HTTP_SERVER_VARS",
"HTTP_ENV_VARS","HTTP_SESSION_VARS",
"_ENV","PHPSESSID","SESS_DBUSER",
"SESS_DBPASS","HTTP_COOKIE");
$timestamp=date("m/d/y h:m:s");
$message="Debug report created $timestamp\n";
// Get the last SQL error for good measure, where $link is the resource identifier
// for mysql_connect. Comment out or modify for your database or abstraction setup.
global $link;
$sql_error=mysql_error($link);
if($sql_error){
$message.="\nMysql Messages:\n".mysql_error($link);
}
// End MySQL
// Could use a recursive function here. You get the idea ;-)
foreach($defined_vars as $key=>$val){
if(is_array($val) && !in_array($key,$ignorelist) && count($val) > 0){
$message.="\n$key array (key=value):\n";
foreach($val as $subkey=>$subval){
if(!in_array($subkey,$ignorelist) && !is_array($subval)){
$message.=$subkey." = ".$subval."\n";
}
elseif(!in_array($subkey,$ignorelist) && is_array($subval)){
foreach($subval as $subsubkey=>$subsubval){
if(!in_array($subsubkey,$ignorelist)){
$message.=$subsubkey." = ".$subsubval."\n";
}
}
}
}
}
elseif(!is_array($val) && !in_array($key,$ignorelist) && $val){
$message.="\nVariable ".$key." = ".$val."\n";
}
}
if($method=="browser"){
echo nl2br($message);
}
elseif($method=="email"){
if($email=="undefined"){
$email=$_SERVER["SERVER_ADMIN"];
}
$mresult=mail($email,"Debug Report for ".$_ENV["HOSTNAME"]."",$message);
if($mresult==1){
echo "Debug Report sent successfully.\n";
}
else{
echo "Failed to send Debug Report.\n";
}
}
}
?>

Simple routine to convert a get_defined_vars object to XML.
<?php
function obj2xml($v, $indent='') {
while (list($key, $val) = each($v)) {
if ($key == '__attr') continue;
// Check for __attr
if (is_object($val->__attr)) {
while (list($key2, $val2) = each($val->__attr)) {
$attr .= " $key2=\"$val2\"";
}
}
else $attr = '';
if (is_array($val) || is_object($val)) {
print("$indent<$key$attr>\n");
obj2xml($val, $indent.' ');
print("$indent</$key>\n");
}
else print("$indent<$key$attr>$val</$key>\n");
}
}
//Example object
$x->name->first = "John";
$x->name->last = "Smith";
$x->arr['Fruit'] = 'Bannana';
$x->arr['Veg'] = 'Carrot';
$y->customer = $x;
$y->customer->__attr->id='176C4';
$z = get_defined_vars();
obj2xml($z['y']);
?>
will output:
<customer id="176C4">
<name>
<first>John</first>
<last>Smith</last>
</name>
<arr>
<Fruit>Bannana</Fruit>
<Veg>Carrot</Veg>
</arr>
</customer>
