Description:
------------
The debug_backtrace() provides very useful information when debugging.

Could it be possible to extend the args element within the trace so that rather than just the index of the argument being shown, show the actual text that was used?

Either as a key to the args array or as a new array which could be array_combined in userland.

Whilst the file and line values help in getting the code that made the call, if the call is over many lines ...

fn(
 var1, // comments
 var2, // comments
 var3  // comments
);

sort of thing, then the line number is the end of the call. The output below shows line 15 which is ...

);

Not a lot of use and using regex with all the potential of unmatched ) etc. is a pain.

Thanks for looking if you do.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function fn() {
 print_r(debug_backtrace());
}

$a_Sites = array
 (
 'Web' => 'www.php.net',
 'Docs' => 'docs.php.net',
 'Wiki' => 'wiki.php.net',
 ); 

fn (
 $a_Sites
);
 

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [file] => C:\dbt.php
            [line] => 13
            [function] => fn
            [args] => Array
                (
                    [$a_Sites] => Array
                        (
                            [Web] => www.php.net
                            [Docs] => docs.php.net
                            [Wiki] => wiki.php.net
                        )

                )

        )

)
