Question

I try to do a prepared SELECT statement with PDO in php. This is my statement:

    # named placeholders 
    $STH = $DBH->("SELECT * FROM `highscore_ranked` WHERE DeviceID = :deviceid ORDER BY Points DESC LIMIT 0 , 10");
    $STH->bindValue(':deviceid', $DeviceIDClear);

    # setting the fetch mode
    $STH->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    $STH->execute();

But I got the error:

 PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '{' or '$'

on this line:

 $STH = $DBH->("SELECT * FROM `highscore_ranked` WHERE DeviceID = :deviceid ORDER BY Points DESC LIMIT 0 , 10");

I don’t know what’s wrong at this line.

Answer 1

You forgot the name of the method!!!!

$STH = $DBH->prepare("SELECT * FROM `highscore_ranked` WHERE DeviceID = :deviceid ORDER BY Points DESC LIMIT 0 , 10");
