stuck! can't see results

when i use "var_dump()" function to see whats happening ,nothing appears on preview. Eve when i echo something no i dont get any results in preview tab.

and i am not able to understand what is the problem with my code. And what i am actually supposed to do in this task

index.php 
<?php

include "helper.php";

while($row = $results->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){

  $id = $row['genre_id'];
  $genre = $row['genre'];

 $item['genres'] = array( $id => $genre);

}
/*
 * helper contains the following variables:
 * $item is an array that contains details about the library item
 * $results is a PDOstatement object with our genre results.
 */

I can't identify anything other than a missing closure for your php-tag. " ?> ". Could that be it ?

thanks kent Asvang but that was not the issue

actually issue was $item['genres'][$row['id']] = $row['genre'];

anyways i could not understand the actual structure of $item array
