12,754 PointsPDO prepared statement. I am stumped on member_id single argument. What is being asked?
<?php function get_member() { include("connection.php");
try {
$results = $db->prepare(
"SELECT member_id, email, fullname, level
FROM members WHERE member_id = ?"
);
$results->bind_param('s', $member_id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$results->execute();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "bad query";
}
$members = $results->fetchAll();
return $members;
}

15,829 PointsI believe this quiz is simply asking on Challenge 1 of 3 to make sure that the function receives a variable as an argument before it can be executed. A lot of times the quizzes seem like that want more than they really do, so try just adding the single argument to the function --- Meaning ---
function get_member($member_id) {
///code
}
