Page Goes Blank With Function On Php - php

Question

I have the following function.php:
function getPublishedPosts() {
// use global $conn object in function
global $conn;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE published=true";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
// fetch all posts as an associative array called $posts
$posts = mysqli_fetch_all($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$final_posts = array();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$post['topic'] = getPostTopic($post['id']);
array_push($final_posts, $post);
}
return $final_posts;
}
and I am calling it to the other page with this:
<!-- THIS LOOP -->
<?php $posts = **getPublishedPosts();** ?>
<div class="content">
<h2 class="content-title">Recent Articles</h2>
<hr>
<!-- more content still to come here ... -->
<!-- Add this ... -->
<?php $posts = getPublishedPosts(); ?>
<?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
<div class="post" style="margin-left: 0px;">
<img src="<?php echo BASE_URL . '/static/images/' . $post['image']; ?>" class="post_image" alt="">
<!-- Added this if statement... -->
<?php if (isset($post['topic']['name'])): ?>
<a
href="<?php echo BASE_URL . 'filtered_posts.php?topic=' . $post['topic']['id'] ?>"
class="btn category">
<?php echo $post['topic']['name'] ?>
</a>
<?php endif ?>
<a href="single_post.php?post-slug=<?php echo $post['slug']; ?>">
<div class="post_info">
<h3><?php echo $post['title'] ?></h3>
<div class="info">
<span><?php echo date("F j, Y ", strtotime($post["created_at"])); ?></span>
<span class="read_more">Read more...</span>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
<?php endforeach ?>
</div>
However, when it is on the server, the page goes blank.

Answer 1

I finally solved it, it was just a server extension and version problem regarding the incompatibility of my function.
