  <p>Can someone please tell me what this 'return' php code means / does:</p>
  
  <pre><code>return ($status=='SUCCESS' &amp;&amp; $blocked=='YES') ? $reason : false;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm familiar with the regular <code>return $variable</code> type of statements in php, but I don't get what the specific brackets ( ) and ? question marks and the ": false" does.</p>
  
  <p>(this is the return statement at the end of a php function)</p>
