Questions:

1) is GETSTUDENTLIST in a class?
2) What the hell is $mapuniverse?

Temporary Solutions:

Try changing this line:
echo"this is " .$mapuniverse;

To
print_r($mapuniverse);

2) What the hell is $mapuniverse?
sorry typo

is echo $mapstudent

i had try using print_r($mapuniverse)
but the result i get is
array([0]=>$student1,([1]=>$student2);

1) is GETSTUDENTLIST in a class?
yah in a class

nplib

it's saying "Array"

because it is an array

if you want to show it as a list, you need to loop through the array

function GETSTUDENTLIST()
{
require("config.php");
if ($studentPull)             // get description from config file
  $mapstudent = $MapstudentFile;
  foreach ($mapstudent as $ms) {
    echo"this is $ms<br />";
  }
}
 
newtest->GETSTUDENTLIST();
