Show all available PHP variables - get_defined_vars
If you want to find out what variables are defined in the current scope during PHP execution, you can use the get_defined_vars() function. This is particularly useful when working in Drupal's .tpl.php files where you want to see what variables are getting passed into the template file.
var_dump(get_defined_vars());
I somehow have a mental block with this function name and usually end up searching for it with terms like "show available variables in PHP", which isn't very helpful, except from now on, when I search for that on Google, I'll get this post to remind me ;-)
See also get_defined_vars(), get_defined_constants() and get_defined_functions(). This should also come up under php variables in scope. Thanks, Google!
I have the exact same mental

Thanks
I knew there would be a function for this; nice simple post here proved it to me!
Thank you.
Thanks
This was exactly what I was looking for. I searched for "variables available at time of execution php" and this page was the first to come up.
Funny that I was actually looking for this because I am debugging a drupal site which had nothing to do with my search string.
Great help, didn't know this function yet :)
