Spot the problem? SQL grab failing

[elis]

I have this PHP snippet:

 

<?php $sql = "SELECT resume_id, resume_filename FROM candidateResumes WHERE candidate_id = :cid";
			$stmt2 = $conn->prepare($sql);
			$stmt2->bindParam(':cid', $id);
			$stmt2->execute();
			$resumes = $stmt2->fetchAll();
			$stmt2->closeCursor();

			if($resumes) {
			echo ('available'); }
			else {
			echo ('empty return');}
?>

 

But for some reason, it's returning as if nothing exists. I've checked the MYSQL table that it's pulling from and it does exist, so I'm assuming I have an problem in my syntax.

 

edit: ":cid and $id are variables from a $_GET statement. The entire script (not just this snippet) runs from the same $_GET statement and everything else that operates from it works, so I'm almost certain it's not that.)

What is ":cid"? I don't know why your putting a colon in there, I think you mean for it to be "$cid".

Colons are used for prepared statements.
