You have a variable inside a function that you need to make accessible outside of the function. How would you accomplish this in PHP?

To make a variable inside a function accessible outside of the function, you can return the variable from the function. Assigning the value of the variable to a global variable inside the function can also make it accessible outside. Using the static keyword will not make the variable accessible outside the function; it only retains its value between function calls. However, it's generally recommended to avoid using global variables and instead use proper parameter passing and return values for better code organization.
