i m lost in her video she never show anything about send_offer() -_-

check this chalange and watch this video it looks like she SKIPS a lot of think because

you cant SHOW content on website by just calling Fatch ASSOC and she never described method send_offer

so idk parameters for this method =\

index.php 
<?php
include "helper.php";

try {
    $results = $db->query(
        "SELECT member_id, email, fullname, level FROM members"
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
//add code below this line
while ($row = $results->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {

}

In the challenge description it says this: "This helper file also contains a function to send_offer. The send_offer function accepts the following arguments: $member_id, $email, $fullname, $level." So you have this function :

<?php

function send_offer($member_id, $email, $fullname, $level) {
//sends email to member using given parameters given
}

?>

Also check out the difference between these two. You're using the wrong one if you wanna call the fetch method in the conditional of a while statement.

Try again with this information and if you still can't do it let me know I'll help you out.

yea here is Final Loop :) 

foreach($results as $row) {
send_offer($row['$member_id'], $row['$email'], $row['$fullname'], $row['$level']);
}

try {
    $results = $db->query(
        "SELECT member_id, email, fullname, level FROM members"
    );
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
//add code below this line
$result = $db->fetchAll();


foreach($result as $row) {
send_offer($row['$member_id'], $row['$email'], $row['$fullname'], $row['$level']);
}

?>
