What are the potential issues with using the "break" statement in PHP if-else conditions?

Using the "break" statement in PHP if-else conditions can lead to unexpected behavior as "break" is typically used in loops like "for" or "while". To solve this, you can use "return" to exit the function or "exit" to terminate the script instead of "break". 

<?php
function checkNumber($num) {
    if ($num > 0) {
        return "Positive";
    } else {
        return "Negative";
    }
}

echo checkNumber(5); // Output: Positive
echo checkNumber(-3); // Output: Negative
?>
