 */

function name() {

        echo "2";

/**
 * Return is not a function, it is a language construct.
 * Parantheses are not required and ...
 * it is commmont to leave them out.
 */

function A() {
    return (1);
}
    
function B() {
    return 2; // also, it is faster
}
    
echo A(); // Output: 1
echo B(); // Output: 2

Null

 
// The concept of "void" functions does not really apply to PHP

function name() {}

echo (name() === NULL); // 1
