Can I return a return value from another function?

I have a class like this:

class Example {

    private function _test($value)
    {
         if ($value == 'xyz') return FALSE;
    }

    public function check()
    {
        $this->_test('xyz');

        // more code follows here...
    }

}

Basically what I want to do is "bubble up" the return value FALSE from the method _test() as the actual return value of the method check(), so that calling

$this->_test('xyz');

will return FALSE

return $this->_test('xyz');

wouldn't work because I don't want to return if the value doesn't match 'xyz'.

Is that possible at all?

I don't understand 100% what you're looking for, so if this isn't what you mean please explain a little more what you want.

public function check()
{
    if($this->_test('xyz') === FALSE){
         return FALSE;
    }

    // more code follows here...
}
