function tail($items)
{
    // Use 'count' to check if the array has more than one element
    // If true, use 'array_slice' to return all elements except the first one, otherwise return the original array
    return count($items) > 1 ? array_slice($items, 1) : $items;
}

// Call 'tail' with an array and display the result using 'print_r'
print_r(tail([1, 2, 3]));
