Consider:

<?php

function x()
{
return 5;
}

x() = 1;

?>

although x() gives the value 5, it is not a variable that can be set, and
so you can not assign (or write) a value (such as 1) to it.

The php error message is saying that you can't assign (or write) a value
to a function call, or in other words, the return value of a function
call is read_only data.
