Bummer: Make sure the function is returning an array of members.

I cant see my mistake...

index.php 
<?php
function get_member($id) {
    include("connection.php");

    try {
      $results = $db->prepare(
      "SELECT member_id 
      FROM members 
      WHERE member_id = $id"
      );
      $results->bindParam(1,$id,PDO::PARAM_INT);
      $results->execute();
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo "bad query";
    }

    $members = $results->fetch();
    return $members;
}

Hint: The problem is with this line: WHERE member_id = $id".
