PHP Integrating PHP with Databases Using Relational Tables Using a Prepared Statement

Issue with question 3 - Answer should be correct, but it is not recognised

Hi, I think something is wrong with the code challenge - question 3. I'm pretty sure I've done it right, but it is saying that question 2 has stopped working because I changed

WHERE member_id = $member_id

to

WHERE member_id = ?

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

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

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

Your call to the PDO static is wrong

$results->bindParam(1, $id, PDO::PARAM_INT);

Thanks for that, I thought I copied it properly from the video lol.
