Figuring out how to add an additional "genres" array element to $item

Stuck with this task:

$item is an array that contains details about the media item. $results is a PDOstatement object with our genre results. Fetch the associative array of $results to loop through, and add an additional "genres" array element to $item. This "genres" element should be an internal associative array with the key of genre_id and the value of genre. Example $item array:

will appreciate you help

index.php 
<?php

include "helper.php";
$item = $results->fetch();
while ($raw = $results->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
    $item['genres'][$raw['genre_id']] = $raw['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.
 */

Remove your first line of code: $item = $results->fetch(); and it will work.
