call the function and assign the return value

The "flavor.php" include file contains a function named get_flavor. That function receives no arguments, and it returns a piece of text as its return value. Call that function and assign the return value to a variable named $flavor.

output.php 
<?php include ('flavor.php');

function get_flavor() { return = $flavor; };

echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is ____.";

?>

The included file 'flavor.php' already contains the function. You do not need to declare it. Assign the result of the function to the variable $flavor.

$flavor = get_flavor();
