Depending on your array, if it is numerically indexed you might be
better off working directly on its elements instead of indirectly with
foreach.

public function validateArray($testArray)
{
    $count = count($testArray);
     for($i=0; $i < $count; ++$i)
     {
          // 1
          echo $testArray[i] . '<br/><br/>';
     }
    return $testArray
}

If you want to work directly on the original array (not a copy passed
into the function), then use a reference in the function signature and
drop the return statement.

public function validateArray(&$testArray)
