Syntax
compact ( mixed $varname1 [, mixed $... ] ) : array

compact() takes a variable number of parameters. Each parameter can be either a string containing the name of the variable, or an array of variable names. The array can contain other arrays of variable names inside it; compact() handles it recursively.

print_r($return);
