Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.0
New Comment:
This function is inherently flawed as by passing the variable to the
function the refcount (and other bits) might already be changed.
Therefore you shouldn't count on this function too much anyway.

Description:
------------
Currently, I filter out the content of the function debug_zval_dump()
to get the reference count of a variable. It would be better if there
was a function in PHP to get this information straight away, without
the need for parsing output.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// My current code:
ob_start();
debug_zval_dump($var);
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$pos = strpos($output, "refcount(");
if ($pos === false) return 0;
$refcount = intval(substr($output, $pos + 9));
// Feature request:
$refcount = refcount($var);
Expected result:
----------------
The internal refcount of a variable
Actual result:
--------------
N/A
