How can PHP send data back to the front end?

In PHP, there are several methods available to return data to the frontend.

  1. Use the echo statement to output data: By using the echo statement, you can directly output data to the frontend page. For example:
echo "Hello, World!";
  1. You can use the print statement to output data. It is similar to the echo statement and can also be used to display data on the front-end page. For example:
print "Hello, World!";
  1. To return data using the ‘return’ statement: If you want to send data back to the frontend page as the function’s return value, you can use the ‘return’ statement. For example:
function getData() {
    // 数据处理代码
    return "Hello, World!";
}
  1. Return data in JSON format: To send back complex data structures, you can convert the data to JSON format and then output it to the front-end page using an echo statement. For example:
$data = array(
    'name' => 'John',
    'age' => 25,
    'email' => 'john@example.com'
);

echo json_encode($data);

The above are several common methods that can be chosen based on specific situations to return data to the frontend page.
