How can one avoid using magic functions and instead route variables in the global namespace within PHP functions?

To avoid using magic functions and instead route variables in the global namespace within PHP functions, you can pass the variables as parameters to the function and return the modified variables as needed. 

// Avoid using magic functions and route variables in the global namespace within PHP functions

function modifyVariables($var1, $var2) {
    // Modify variables as needed
    $var1 = 'Modified ' . $var1;
    $var2 = 'Modified ' . $var2;

    // Return modified variables
    return array($var1, $var2);
}

// Variables in the global namespace
$variable1 = 'Hello';
$variable2 = 'World';

// Call the function and update the variables
list($variable1, $variable2) = modifyVariables($variable1, $variable2);

// Output modified variables
echo $variable1 . ' ' . $variable2;
