Actually its better to use a function to return any kind of data, it can be from a array, the function itself or the database because it's better to read the code and cleaner. And about the practice matters, it's a good practice because of readability but not optimization.

I now consider readability and optimization both important together whenever possible but when it's not, I go for readability (matters though)...

So look in my COD script I've a array with rank names and their scores, I use a function called return

PHP Code:

GetRankName(rankid) {
new rankname[MAX_RANK_NAME_LEN];
format(rankname, sizeof rankname, gRanks[rankid][E_RANK_NAME]);
return rankname;
} // Written in the web browser, neglect the indentation 


which just makes this code

PHP Code:

gRanks[rankid][E_RANK_NAME] 


more easier to read and write.
