It IS an option -- and that's what I was doing (except for the
suppress error) via this:
$post_var = sessionize_post('post_var');
I just wanted to make it simpler and do this:
$post_var = sessionize_post($post_var);
But, it turned out to be much more involved. It's just an adventure
in key punching.
It takes inefficiency to a whole new level.

First, I didn't say it was better.
Second, you're not missing anything.
Third, if I wanted to merge the arrays, I could use REQUEST and
forget the merge.
I was just trying to get the "check the current value of post or get
variable and put it into a session" with a single simple statement of:
$whatever = serialize($whatever);
Now, I've have to continue with my original:
$whatever = serialize('whatever');
When dealing with just a few variables, it's not a big deal. But,
with the numbers I've been dealing with lately, I was looking to
create something simple to cut and paste into.

What Tedd means is this: ;-P
BINGO! We have a winner!
For those of you who want to know what I'm doing with the solution,
please review:
http://www.webbytedd.com//var-string/index.php
Warning: Geek meters should be worn at all times and exposure should
be limited. All code is shown.
The "problem" that I was seeking a solution for was simply an easier
way to grab POST and GET variables and place them into SESSIONs while
keeping the most current values current.
I'm a little disappointed in the solution because I wanted the
statements to be:
$post_var = sessionize_post($post_var);
$get_var = sessionize_get($ger_var);
But, the function provided by Daniel (and found in the literature)
would not work from within my session_post and session_get functions
-- I think it's probably something to do with the scope of the
variable.
In any event, I had to alter the calls to:
$post_var = @sessionize_post($post_var, vname($post_var));
$get_var = @sessionize_get($get_var, vname($get_var));
I don't see why this has to be so convoluted - it would be a heck of
a lot easier to do it with a string:
$post_var = @sessionize_post('post_var');
so why exactly is that not an option (or good idea)?
You see, there can be reasons why someone would want to know the
variable's name.
Thanks Daniel and to all who commented.
And thank you for putting credit where it was really due. I knew
I had gotten that code a couple of years ago from somewhere, but
couldn't remember where. I hadn't written it, only modified it. I'm
going to update my code now to put the "thanks to" section in there to
the person who deserves the credit: Lucas Karisny (lucas dot karisny
at linuxmail dot org).
I had tried to find that each time I referenced the code or used
it myself, but never did. If only I had R'd TFM. :-\

This is what I meant, as was posted just yesterday by someone (Jim Lucas?)
for ( $i = 0 ; $i < 20 ; $i++ )
{
$theVariableAsString = 'something_' . $i;
${ 'something' . '_' . $i } = "Assign something here";
}
String value available here -> $theVariableAsString.
I have no idea why tedd wants to have the string value of the variable nor
how he will use it.

If you dynamically created the variable:
${ 'something' . '_' . 'somethingElse' };
then you'd have access to it via the variable name parts.

You don't...
Consider this:
function foo($bar){
//what would your function output?
}
$baz = 3;
foo($baz);
