doubly stumped lol

I noticed from the other answers that this question is asking for me to use the PDO::PARAM_INT object, but now I'm not sure what is wrong

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

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

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

Hey 👋 , you‘re problem is in the WHERE.

You should not write the tablename after where like this members.member_id = ?

You SELECT ........ FROM table WHERE ...... . You only write member_id = ? after the WHERE, because you select the table with the FROM keywords.
