My code is very simple:
$con1 = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=users_db", root, "");
$resp = $con1 -> query('SELECT * FROM records');
The response I get inside $resp is the query string 'SELECT * FROM records' no clue why.
The same query is working using mysqli.
I tried debugging and I see a strange value {POD}[0] in $con1 after creating the PDO instance.
What am I doing wrong here I followed this phpro.org.
