How can a PHP function return both an object and a string as output?

To return both an object and a string from a PHP function, you can use an array to store and return multiple values. You can create an associative array where one key holds the object and another key holds the string. This way, you can easily access both values after calling the function.

function returnObjectAndString() {
    $object = new stdClass();
    $object->property = 'Object property';

    $string = 'This is a string';

    return ['object' => $object, 'string' => $string];
}

$result = returnObjectAndString();
$objectResult = $result['object'];
$stringResult = $result['string'];

var_dump($objectResult);
echo $stringResult;
