Are there any built-in PHP functions or features specifically designed for returning multiple variables from a function?

In PHP, a function can only return a single value. However, you can return multiple values by using an array or an object to encapsulate them. This allows you to effectively return multiple variables from a function. 

function getMultipleValues() {
    // Perform some operations to get the values
    $value1 = 10;
    $value2 = "Hello";
    
    // Return the values as an array
    return array($value1, $value2);
}

// Usage
list($result1, $result2) = getMultipleValues();
echo $result1; // Output: 10
echo $result2; // Output: Hello
