Error on your validation

This is my code: function get_member($id) { include("connection.php");

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

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

}

The system is saying that I need to use a where clause... there is the where clause and it not allow me to go to the next task. Please verify your system.

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

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

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

Hi Jorge,

The original code was using the fetchAll method on the second to last line and you changed it to the fetch method.

You should pass once you change that back. The rest of your code is correct.
