Loop through the PDOStatement Object returned by the function and display both the podcast 'title' and podcast 'website'

Good day,

Can anyone assist.

I am getting the following message:

Bummer! I do not see all the podcasts.

index.php 
<?php
function get_podcasts() {
    include 'connection.php';

    //add code here
    try {
      return $db->query('SELECT * FROM podcasts');

    } catch (Exception $e) {
          echo "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br />";
          return false;
    }

    foreach (get_podcasts() as $podcast) {
        echo "<li>" . $podcast['title'] . " " . $podcast['website'] . "</li>"; // I tried putting $item instead of $podcast and get the same message
    }
}

Hi, you are nearly there! Just put foreach block outside the function get_podcasts() and echo opening and closing <ul> tags around foreach loop.

<?php
function get_podcasts() {
    include 'connection.php';

    //add code here
    try {
      return $db->query('SELECT * FROM podcasts');

    } catch (Exception $e) {
          echo "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br />";
          return false;
    }
}

echo '<ul>';
foreach (get_podcasts() as $podcast) {
        echo "<li>" . $podcast['title'] . " " . $podcast['website'] . "</li>"; 
    }
echo '</ul>';
