slim routing php mysql

Here is my index.php file that I have written, using the slim framework. I have a portfolio page that is being rendered, but I also have the items linking to another page by using an id selected from mysql. However this is where I have the problem, that file is not rendering. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, I have spent so much time on this, my head is going bonkers!

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set ( "Europe/London" );


$app = new \Slim\Slim( array(
  'view' => new \Slim\Views\Twig()
));


$view = $app->view();
$view->parserOptions = array(
    'debug' => true,

);

$view->parserExtensions = array(
    new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension(),
);


//what happens here is what will run with our object
$app->get('/', function() use($app){
  $app->render('about.twig');
});


//portfolio page

    $app->get('portfolio/{id}', function($id) use ($app) {
        $item = $app['item']->getRequest($id);
        $app['twig']->render('portfolioitem.twig', array(
            'item' => $item
        ));
    });
    $app->get('/portfolio', function() use ($app) {
        $app->render('portfolio.twig');
    });



$app->get('/contact', function() use($app){
  $app->render('contact.twig');
})->name('contact');

$app->run();

function getRequest($id) {
    $db = getConnection();
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM documentaries WHERE id=$id";
    if ($item = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            $result = mysqli_query($db,$sql);
            $item['id'] = array();
            while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
                $item['id'][] = $row['id'];
            }
            return $item;
        } else {
            return null;
        }
}

function getConnection() {
  $dbhost="localhost";
  $dbuser="root";
  $dbpass="i";
  $dbname="tom_db";
  $dbh =  mysqli_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass,$dbname);
  if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
  }
}
?>
