Multiple levels are in my opinion not necessary, neighter the way of
implementation.
The scope variables could also be made available thru the backtrace()
function. And still have no official support.
@dragoonis: I don't know how more specific it can get. get_caller_vars()
is a non-existent function. Hence this feature request!

Then you also need get_callers_caller_vars() and
get_callers_callers_caller_vars() but by definition a function shall be
independent from the caller's scope. All required information shall be
passed as parameter.

Please elaborate on "such a function does not exist" with an exact error
message.

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
