Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 no such table: film' in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php:8 Stack trace: #0 /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php(8): PDO->query('select * from f...') #1 {main} thrown in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php on line 8

my index.php file:
<?php
require_once('database.php');
//remove before flight
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
$results = $db->query('select * from film');
var_dump($results);

22,986 PointsHave you created the tables? You should be able to view all of your created tables with the following command. Throw it in at the top of your script and see what you get back:
<?php
$results = $db->query("SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table'");
var_dump($results);
exit;

2,059 PointsFirst of all thank you for your response!
Have I Created tables? Aren't they suppose to be there already? Have I missed a video where it is shown how to create the tables? I assumed that these tables were suppose to be there with that database.db file that comes on loading the platform from that video . Am I wrong? Anyways your example returns : object(PDOStatement)#2 (1) { ["queryString"]=> string(51) "SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table'" } and on $results = $results->fetchAll(); returns array (0) { }
seems like there are no tables there...

first write: <p>sqlite3 database.db</p> press enter
,then: <p> select * from film; </p>

2,059 Pointstried that and some other table names (in plural too), no luck... same error all the time. First I did exactly how it is shown in the video... should work but it doesn't.
