Array
(
[0] => 4
[1] => 8
[2] => 15
[3] => 16
[4] => 23
[5] => 42
)

code II

<?php $array1=array(4,8,15,16,23,42); echo "

" . print_r($array1) . "

Dear, its giving you the perfect output of your code the 1 you are seeing in the last is also your typing mistake. See echo “

” . print_r($array1) . “

”; this is where you are getting 1 in output
