Bug description:Getting scope variables of the caller function
Description:
------------
In bug #48290 was the function get_caller_vars() suggested. But in that
case it was irrelevant. However do I seek such a function.
get_defined_vars() returns the vars in the current scope. As do i like to
get the variables of the caller routine.
This would allow me to use parameters from a subroutine without having to
refactor another parameter being get_defined_vars() as this would obviously
uglify my code, which would impeach the reason to refactor in the first
place.
Test script:
---------------
function a() {
$test = 'A';
b();
}
function b() {
$test = 'B';
$vars_local = get_defined_vars();
$vars_caller = get_caller_vars();
echo $vars_caller['test']; // Expexted: A
echo $vars_local['test']; // Expected: B
}
a();
Expected result:
----------------
A
B
Actual result:
--------------
such a function does not exist
