[nyphp-talk] style question: returning from a function while you're in a foreach

[David Mintz]

function whatever(Array $array) {

    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
        if  ($something)  {
             return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Is there any reason  -- style, legibility, whatever -- not to do the above?
Or should you do something like

function whatever(Array $array)  {

   $return = false;
    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
        if  ($something)  {
             $return = true;
             break;
        }
    }
    return $return;
}

Thanks.
