Guzzle pool in PHP application

Question

I am trying to use Guzzle pool in PHP. But I am having difficulty in dealing with ASYNC request. Below is the code snippet.

    $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();

    function test() 
    {
        $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();   
        $request = $client->createRequest('GET', 'http://l/?n=0', ['future' => true]);

        $client->send($request)->then(function ($response) {
            //echo 'Got a response! ' . $response;
            return "\n".$response->getBody();
        });

    }
    $res = test();
    var_dump($res); // echoes null - I know why it does so but how to resolve the issue.

Does anybody how can I make function wait and get the correct result.

If you could return it it wouldn't be async in code style. Return the promise and unwrap it on the outside.

function test() 
{
   $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();   
   $request = $client->createRequest('GET', 'http://l/?n=0', ['future' => true]);

   // note the return
   return $client->send($request)->then(function ($response) {
       //echo 'Got a response! ' . $response;
       return "\n".$response->getBody();
   });   
}
test()->then(function($body){
     echo $body; // access body here inside `then`
});
