note 119659 added to function.return

One situation where returning a value from a script and using it could be considered a good use is config files. Zend Framework 2 promotes this structure for this purpose, and it works pretty well. Example config file: <?php return [ 'site' => 123, 'settings' => 'asd' ]; Reading: <?php $config = (require 'config.php'); // Or $config = array_merge(require 'config/local.php', require 'config/application.php'); ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 109.154.244.82 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.return.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119659 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119659 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119659 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
