Why is this not OK?

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

    try {
      $results = $db->prepare(
          "SELECT member_id, email, fullname, level
          FROM members WHERE member_id = ?"
         );
         $results->bindParam(1,$id,PDO::PARAM_INT);
         $results->execute();

    } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo "bad query";
    }

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

Javier,

It is probably expecting you to use $member_id and not just $id like from the workspace/videos that we've been using. It asks for $member_id so I'd stick with using that as the argument. The challenges can be fickle like that.
