Question

//this is my code from class.php
class Functions
{    
function getUsers($sex)
{
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT lname,fname from users WHERE gender = :gender');
    $stmt->execute(array(':gender'=>$sex));

    foreach($stmt as $row)
    {
        echo $row['lname'].'-'.$row['fname'];
        //this is what i think but i don't need to echo because the echo must be in index.php.What is the right way?
    }
}
$function = new Functions();
}

//this is for my index.php
include 'class.php'
$function->getUsers($gender);

//this is what i think but it is probably wrong or incomplete.
foreach(what should i put here?)
{
   echo '<li>' names should be here? '</li>'
}
//the output should get all the user based on the gender :(

Problem: How can i retrieve the values from my function since its values are from foreach and the number of values are not fixed? Thanks in advance 🙂

//this is my code from class.php
class Functions {
    function getUsers($sex) {
        $stmt = $pdo - > prepare('SELECT lname,fname from users WHERE gender = :gender');
        $stmt - > execute(array(':gender' = > $sex));

        foreach($stmt as $row) {
            $names[] = $row['lname'].'-'.$row['fname'];
            //this is what i think but i don't need to echo because the echo must be in index.php.What is the right way?
        }
        return $names;
    } 
}

//this is for my index.php
include 'class.php'
$function = new Functions();
$names = $function->getUsers($gender);

//this is what i think but it is probably wrong or incomplete.
foreach($names as $name) {
    echo '<li>'.$name.'</li>'
}
//the output should get all the user based on the gender :(
