PHP page magically returns and echoes “1”
Question
I'm working on a fictional barebones blog to work on my skills , but an unexpected phenomenon is putting me off.
I have a view (no framework), a controller 'index.php' and a layout file. I also have an additional 'functions.php' file to query and connect to the database.
<h1>The Blog</h1>
<?php foreach($posts as $post) : ?>
<article>
<h2>
<a href="single.php"><?= $post['title']; ?> </a>
</h2>
<div class="body"><?= $post['body'] ?> </div>
</article>
<?php endforeach; ?>
This is my layout code .
But when I look at the file ,in the browser ,at the end of the file , a trailing digit "1" is shown.
This magically dissapears when I change the last line to
<?php endforeach; return ' '; ?>
to the foreach line . Why is this coming up?
I'm using Jeffrey Ways 'PHP Fundamentals' Tutorial on Tuts+ Premium and he's not getting this trailing digit.
This is the browser source :
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The Blog</h1>
<article>
<h2>
<a href="single.php">My first Post </a>
</h2>
<div class="body">Here is the body of the first post </div>
</article>
<article>
<h2>
<a href="single.php">PHP isn't too hard </a>
</h2>
<div class="body">Here is the body for the second post </div>
</article>
<article>
<h2>
<a href="single.php">My third Post </a>
</h2>
<div class="body">This is not that hard , is it ? </div>
</article>
1
</body>
</html>

The "1" you are seeing is probably the value returned either by echoing successful database query or include function. So when you specify return " " , the default value is overwritten.
