If you don't understand, why do parameters in methods like exec (), preg_match_all () have output without declaring variables?

for example: 

$str = "123123";
preg_match_all("/(\d*)/", $str, $arr);
var_dump($arr);

or: 

exec("date", $output);
var_dump($output);

this is not declared $output , and can be output as $arr ? What is the reason for this?

add 

<?php
var_dump($res);   // ,

//
function test(&$a){
        $aPP;
}

test($a);
echo $a;   //  1%

you can, too. 

function fun($a,&$b)
{
    $b = $a;
}
fun(1,$x);
var_dump($x);
Variables in

php do not need to be declared before use, and for output variables that pass addresses, initializes is not necessary if you do not use initial values.
