Modification of the array returned from function by value won't have any effect
Reports call to a function that returns array by value, which makes the assignment operation non-working. Return by reference shall be used instead.
For example:
<?php
class A {
private $values = [];
public function getValues() {
return $this->values;
}
}
$config = new A();
$config->getValues()['a'] = 'a';
