returning values (return command)

[RaideX]

In that case, return is used to prevent the code from reading the rest of the code. It stops and continues at the parent function that called it.

If you had your function declared as string or whatever instead of void, you could return data of that type by using return value

PHP Code: (Select All)

string Message () 
{    
     return "hello";
} 


At least that's how I use it and works as expected.
No idea if here has another use other than that.

i'm not quite getting the part with the "stops reading the code". What exactly would be the difference here? I mean, the whole code in the brackets is going to be executed no matter if it returns it or not.

I think i'll need some more examples on the first bit. The second one is quite self explanatory.
