Answer 1

function myfunc() {
   ... do stuff ...
   $values = array($data, $success, $error);
   return($values);
}

$data = myfunc();
echo "Data is ", $data[0];

return can only return a single thing, and it “aborts” the function, so you cannot have 2 or more returns in a row – only the first one would ever execute. So, the workaround is to return a container which contains all the values you need. In this case, i’ve used an array, but return can “return” anything – you could have an object passed back if you’d like.
