PDO JSON encode multiple HTML table rows - php

Question

I am building a PHP function that is supposed to answer a jQuery Ajax call, depending on what id is submitted. There can be multiple forms with the same ID and I can't figure out why it is not sending back more than one record. PS: My dad will kill me if I don't figure this out by Monday...
My PHP:
<?php
if (!empty($_GET['id'])) {
$id = $_GET['id'];
try {
$objDb = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=blankett', 'root', 'root');
$objDb->exec('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM `forms`
WHERE `id` = '$id'";
$statement = $objDb->prepare($sql);
$list = $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if (!empty($list)) {
$out = array();
foreach ($list as $row ) {
$out[] = '<tr><td>'.$row['name_form'].'</td> <td>'.$row['date_added'].'</td></tr>';
}
echo json_encode(array('error' => false, 'list' => $out));
} else {
echo json_encode(array('error' => true));
}
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo json_encode(array('error' => true));
}
} else {
echo json_encode(array('error' => true));
}
?>

You're using the prepared statement incorrectly. First, you should not be putting your variable in the statement. Second, you need to execute the statement.
Here is an example from the php.net site:
$sql = 'SELECT name, colour, calories
FROM fruit
WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour';
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY));
$sth->execute(array(':calories' => 150, ':colour' => 'red'));
$red = $sth->fetchAll();
$sth->execute(array(':calories' => 175, ':colour' => 'yellow'));
$yellow = $sth->fetchAll();
And here is how you would do it:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM `forms`
WHERE `id` = :formID";
$statement = $objDb->prepare($sql, array(PDO::ATTR_CURSOR => PDO::CURSOR_FWDONLY));
$statement ->execute(array(':formID' => $id));
$list= $statement ->fetchAll();
