Returning variables from Functions

programming

Can somebody please tell me why this function is not RETURNing the variable?


<?php
    // Create function
    function show_text() {
        $text = "iNeed Help";
        return $text;
    }
    
    
    // Execute function
    show_text();
    
    // ECHO the value returned from the function
    echo $text;
?>

Thanks
