How Values Are Returned from Functions
How Values Are Returned from Functions? - PHP Script Tips - Creating Your Own Functions
✍: FYIcenter.com
If a value is returned from a function, it is returned by value, not by reference. That means that a copy of the value is return. Here is a PHP script on how values are returned from a function:
<?php $favor = "vbulletin"; function getFavor() { global $favor; return $favor; } $myFavor = getFavor(); print("Favorite tool: $myFavor\n"); $favor = "phpbb"; print("Favorite tool: $myFavor\n"); ?>
This script will print:
Favorite tool: vbulletin Favorite tool: vbulletin
As you can see, changing the value in $favor does not affect $myFavor. This proves that the function returns a new copy of $favor.
