What potential issue is present in the code that may cause the "verify" function to not work as intended?

The issue present in the code is that the "verify" function is not returning a value after the if-else conditions are checked. To solve this issue, we need to ensure that the "verify" function returns a boolean value (true or false) based on whether the conditions are met.

function verify($string) {
    if(strlen($string) < 8) {
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
}
