I think this a near perfect example of why we need to setup our PHP debugger. Read from https://www.google.com/search?q=php+debugger and then get yours setup so you can find where it fails.

You could try an array as an alternative, e.g.:

function animal( $year )
{
    $sub = 7;
    $yearAni = ['rat','tiger','elephant','snake','dog','cat','roar','keke','weiki','liki','ziki','hump'];
    $index = ($year-$sub) % count($yearAni);
    return $yearAni[$index];
}

for($y=2000;$y<=2017;$y++)
    echo ucwords("The year $y is the year of the " . animal($y) . "<br />");
