I am´trying to solve this PHPUnit issue

http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5053

The problem is that the sourcefile that contains the test case class is include()d within a method. Thus any global variable defined in the source is local to the PHPUnit method that calls include().

The only solution I see would be a PHP function like get_declared_vars() that returns the names of all variables visible in the current scope. I could then call this function before and after the inclusion and compare the two results to see which new variables came from the included file and copy them to $GLOBALS.

This is a request to add a get_declared_vars() function to Xdebug.
