PHP 8.0: Why is my PDO statement returning NULL instead of expected result?
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm working with PHP 8.0 and trying to execute a PDO statement to fetch user data from my MySQL database. However, I keep getting a NULL response, which is not what I expected. Here's a snippet of my code: ```php try { $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydatabase', 'username', 'password'); $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id'); $stmt->execute(['id' => 1]); $user = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage(); } ``` When I check the value of `$user` after execution, it returns NULL. I've verified that there is indeed a user with `id = 1` in the database. To troubleshoot, I even added a conditional to check for errors, and it appears that the statement executes without any exceptions. To investigate further, I tried running the actual SQL query directly in my database management tool, and it returns the expected results. I'm not sure what I might be missing here. I've also checked to ensure that the `id` column in the database is indeed numeric and that I'm passing it correctly. Could this be an scenario with how PDO is handling the binding? Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I’ve ensured that my database connection details are correct and that there's no scenario with the database server. The PDO version is 1.0, and I'm using MySQL 8.0. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. For context: I'm using Php on Ubuntu. How would you solve this?
