    return $posts;                                          

Answer 1

Your return statement should come before the last closing brace.

        while($posts = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
            array_push($posts, new Post($post['id'], $post['created'], $post['author'], $post['title'], $post['body']));      
        }

        return $posts;                                          
    }

Answer 2

Your return statement needs to be inside the function getPosts(). Currently it is outside or you have one } on the wrong line.
