I am writing a specialized xml serialization function, and I would like to be able to serialize the value of a simple object with the object name as the tag. For example:

   first_name = 'Fred'

  sXML = my_xml_serializer(first_name)

should result in sXML = '<first_name>Fred</first_name>'

I can get class and field names, but how do I find the name of a simple variable?

There was a thread a few days ago about this - there are esoteric ways to obtain the object name(s), but I would use:
        sXML = my_xml_serializer('first_name',first_name)
because it's rather clear, and I think you would not use such things a lot.

Remember that a single object may be known as many names, or even anonymous - they are not unique.
