That won't work, because you escaped the $ sign, the variable won't get 
processed and the name returned will be the one of the variable as it is 
declared in the function, always the same.

Hello Kodrik,

I would do the following code. Excuse me if there are many mistakes. I
am only a newbie. So:

function somefunction($myvar) {
do something...
...
...
return \$myvar;
}

$varname = somefunction($myvar);
echo "$varname";

Hope it helps you

SR
