Treehouse Project ReviewerStuck on this code challenge!!
1.Define the "all" method to return all items from the MySQL database table passed to the method. 2.Use "fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ)" to return the results as an array of objects.
At first I kept getting the error message: "Bummer: You should use PDO to execute a SQL query!"
So I made an SQL query and now it's telling me "Bummer: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function bindValue() on boolean in sqlRepository.php:8" I have been stuck trying to figure out this code challenge since yesterday. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated....
<?php
class sqlRepository extends PDO implements RepositoryInterface
{
public function all($table)
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ?";
$results = $this->prepare($sql);
$results->bindValue(1, $table, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$results->execute();
return $results->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
}
}

Treehouse Project ReviewerJust wanted to update: It turns out all I needed to do to make this code work was to remove the bindValue and instead just add that value to my $sql string. Here's the code I finally got to work for me:
<?php
class sqlRepository extends PDO implements RepositoryInterface
{
public function all($table)
{
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table;
$results = $this->prepare($sql);
$results->execute();
return $results->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
}
}
