Use this to detach user variables from global to check variable at the moment.

function get_user_var_defined () 
{
    return array_slice($GLOBALS,8,count($GLOBALS)-8);     
}

function get_var_name ($var) 
{
    $vuser = get_user_var_defined(); 
    foreach($vuser as $key=>$value) 
    {
        if($var===$value) return $key ; 
    }
}
