Definition and Usage
The return keyword ends a function and, optionally, uses the result of an expression as
the return value of the function.
If return is used outside of a function, it stops PHP code in the file from running. If the file
was included using include, include_once, require or require_once, the result of
the expression is used as the return value of the include statements.
