What does it mean for a functions scope to have a boolean false, when returning the boolean.

Example:

PHP Code:


			


 function foo(args ..)

 {

  return true;

  if ($bar)

  {

   echo $bar;

  }

  return false;

 }

I look at scripts like this, and it just confuses me as to why would a php programmer put something as return true and false in there? It's only making the file larger. :P
