Echo the name of a variable?

Let's say I'm passing a variable to a function.
Example:

function upload_data($array_name, $other_stuff)
{
    magic code of wonder
}


Is there any way to echo the name of the array passed in as the argument for $array_name?

Edited to add:

an echo statement on $array_name returns the text Array. What I want is the name of the array that is passed into this function. For example, if I were to type:

upload_data($foo, $bar)

I would like to be able to echo "foo". Not the array contents, or the value of the variable, but the name of the variable itself.
