Значения возвращаются при помощи необязательного оператора возврата.
Возвращаемые значения могут быть любого типа, в том числе это могут
быть списки и объекты. Возврат приводит к завершению выполнения функции и передаче
управления обратно к той строке кода, в которой данная функция была
вызвана. Для получения более детальной информации ознакомьтесь с описанием
функции return().
Пример 17-10. Использование функции return()
<?php
function square($num)
{
return $num * $num;
}
echo square(4); ?>
|
|
Функция не может возвращать несколько значений, но аналогичного
результата можно добиться, возвращая массив.
Пример 17-11. Возврат нескольких значений в виде массива
<?php
function small_numbers()
{
return array (0, 1, 2);
}
list ($zero, $one, $two) = small_numbers();
?>
|
|
Для того, чтобы функция возвращала результат по ссылке, вам
необходимо использовать оператор & и при описании функции,
и при присвоении переменной возвращаемого значения:
Пример 17-12. Возврат результата по ссылке
<?php
function &returns_reference()
{
return $someref;
}
$newref =& returns_reference();
?>

You can also use the compact-extract pair to return multiple values:
<?php
function Composite($x, $y) {
$sum = $x + $y;
$dif = $x - $y;
return compact('sum', 'dif');
}
extract(Composite(3, 4));
echo $sum;
echo $dif;
?>

Functions which return references, may return a NULL value. This is inconsistent with the fact that function parameters passed by reference can't be passed as NULL (or in fact anything which isnt a variable).
i.e.
<?php
function &testRet()
{
return NULL;
}
if (testRet() === NULL)
{
echo "NULL";
}
?>
parses fine and echoes NULL

Here's a sick idea. When a function returns no value, if you assign its return value to a variable that variable will be unset. So instead of returning -1 on error just return with no value.
For example,
function myfunc($myvar) {
if ($myvar == "abc")
return(1);
if ($myvar == "xyz")
return(2);
return;
}
$abc = myfunc("def");
if (isset($abc))
echo("a-ok");
else
echo("oops");

It seems that when you wish to export a varible, you can do it as return $varible, return an array(), or globalise it. If you return something, information for that varible can only travel one way when the script is running, and that is out of the function.
function fn() {
$varible = "something";
return $varible;
}
echo fn();
OR
$newvarible = fn();
Although if global was used, it creates a pointer to a varible, whether it existed or not, and makes whatever is created in the function linked to that global pointer. So if the pointer was global $varible, and then you set a value to $varible, it would then be accessible in the global scope. But then what if you later on in the script redefine that global to equal something else. This means that whatever is put into the global array, the information that is set in the pointer, can be set at any point (overiden). Here is an example that might make this a little clearer:
function fn1() {
global $varible; // Pointer to the global array
$varible = "something";
}
fn1();
echo $varible; // Prints something
$varible = "12345";
echo $varible; // Prints 12345
function fn2() {
global $varible; // Pointer to the global array
echo $varible;
}
fn2(); // echos $varible which contains "12345"
Basically with the global array, you can set it refer to something already defined or set it to something, (a pointer) such as varible you plan to create in the function, and later possibly over ride the pointer with something else.

In reference to the poster above, an additional (better?) way to return multiple values from a function is to use list(). For example:
function fn($a, $b)
{
# complex stuff
return array(
$a * $b,
$a + $b,
);
}
list($product, $sum) = fn(3, 4);
echo $product; # prints 12
echo $sum; # prints 7

A function can only return one value, but that value can be an array or other compound value. If you want to just define several variables into the global scope within your function you can do two things:
1. return an array from your function and then run the extract() function
$result_array = test ();
extract ($result_array);
2. Or you can just append the variables to the $GLOBALS array:
$array = array ('first' => 'john', 'middle' => 'q', 'last' => 'public');
function upper_case () {
global $array;
foreach ($array as $key => $value)
{
$GLOBALS[$key] = strtoupper ($value);
}
}
upper_case ();
echo "$first $middle $last";
// returns JOHN Q PUBLIC
In this second example you can create multiple values without necessarily returning anything from the function. This may be handy for applying several functions (stripslashes, trim, etc..) accross all elements of $_POST or $_GET and then having all of the newly cleaned up variables extracted out for you.

One thing to note about returning arrays- the usual "complex variable" syntax will give you a parse error. For instance, if you have:
function adminstuff() {
mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass');
mysql_select_db('mydb');
$result = mysql_query('SELECT login, pass FROM users);
$resultrow = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
# this next line is key:
return array ({$resultrow['login']}, {$resultrow['pass']});
}
That won't work. You *can* reference array elements without the curly-braces syntax, i.e.:
return array ($resultrow['login'], $resultrow['pass']);
But you'll get a parse error if you try to use curly braces. Thanks,
Steve

PHP functions that do not explicitly return a value will be 'void', that is, they return 'null'. C programmers will be accustomed to this already, but folks coming from Perl may expect the return value of a function to be the return value of the last expression evaluated inside the function, as is the case with Perl. Not so.
