返回值

值通过使用可选的返回语句返回。可以返回包括数组和对象的任意类型。返回语句会立即中止函数的运行,并且将控制权交回调用该函数的代码行。更多信息见 return

注意:

如果省略了 return,则返回值为 null

return 的使用

示例 #1 return 的使用

<?php
function square($num)
{
return
$num * $num;
}
echo
square(4); // 输出 '16'。
?>

函数不能返回多个值,但可以通过返回一个数组来得到类似的效果。

示例 #2 返回一个数组以得到多个返回值

<?php
function small_numbers()
{
return [
0, 1, 2];
}
// 使用短数组语法将数组中的值赋给一组变量
[$zero, $one, $two] = small_numbers();

// 在 7.1.0 之前,唯一相等的选择是使用 list() 结构
list($zero, $one, $two) = small_numbers();
?>

从函数返回一个引用,必须在函数声明和指派返回值给一个变量时都使用引用运算符 &:

示例 #3 从函数返回一个引用

<?php
function &returns_reference()
{
return
$someref;
}

$newref =& returns_reference();
?>

PHP 7.1 allows for void and null return types by preceding the type declaration with a ? -- (e.g. function canReturnNullorString(): ?string)

However resource is not allowed as a return type:

<?php
function fileOpen(string $fileName, string $mode): resource
{
$handle = fopen($fileName, $mode);
if (
$handle !== false)
{
return
$handle;
}
}

$resourceHandle = fileOpen("myfile.txt", "r");
?>

Errors with:
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of fileOpen() must be an instance of resource, resource returned.

Developers with a C background may expect pass by reference semantics for arrays. It may be surprising that pass by value is used for arrays just like scalars. Objects are implicitly passed by reference.

<?php

# (1) Objects are always passed by reference and returned by reference

class Obj {
public
$x;
}

function
obj_inc_x($obj) {
$obj->x++;
return
$obj;
}

$obj = new Obj();
$obj->x = 1;

$obj2 = obj_inc_x($obj);
obj_inc_x($obj2);

print
$obj->x . ', ' . $obj2->x . "\n";

# (2) Scalars are not passed by reference or returned as such

function scalar_inc_x($x) {
$x++;
return
$x;
}

$x = 1;

$x2 = scalar_inc_x($x);
scalar_inc_x($x2);

print
$x . ', ' . $x2 . "\n";

# (3) You have to force pass by reference and return by reference on scalars

function &scalar_ref_inc_x(&$x) {
$x++;
return
$x;
}

$x = 1;

$x2 =& scalar_ref_inc_x($x); # Need reference here as well as the function sig
scalar_ref_inc_x($x2);

print
$x . ', ' . $x2 . "\n";

# (4) Arrays use pass by value sematics just like scalars

function array_inc_x($array) {
$array{'x'}++;
return
$array;
}

$array = array();
$array['x'] = 1;

$array2 = array_inc_x($array);
array_inc_x($array2);

print
$array['x'] . ', ' . $array2['x'] . "\n";

# (5) You have to force pass by reference and return by reference on arrays

function &array_ref_inc_x(&$array) {
$array{'x'}++;
return
$array;
}

$array = array();
$array['x'] = 1;

$array2 =& array_ref_inc_x($array); # Need reference here as well as the function sig
array_ref_inc_x($array2);

print
$array['x'] . ', ' . $array2['x'] . "\n";

Be careful about using "do this thing or die()" logic in your return lines. It doesn't work as you'd expect:

<?php
function myfunc1() {
return(
'thingy' or die('otherthingy'));
}
function
myfunc2() {
return
'thingy' or die('otherthingy');
}
function
myfunc3() {
return(
'thingy') or die('otherthingy');
}
function
myfunc4() {
return
'thingy' or 'otherthingy';
}
function
myfunc5() {
$x = 'thingy' or 'otherthingy'; return $x;
}
echo
myfunc1(). "\n". myfunc2(). "\n". myfunc3(). "\n". myfunc4(). "\n". myfunc5(). "\n";
?>

Only myfunc5() returns 'thingy' - the rest return 1.

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
