I am trying to bind values to a query in PHP. I have done this successfully many times, but for some reason my code isn't working.

```
function get_movies($vars, $page) {

    global $db;

    $get_movies = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM `movies` WHERE LOWER(genres) LIKE :genre AND `qualities` LIKE :quality AND `rating` >= :imdb_min AND `rating` <= :imdb_max AND `year` >= :year_min AND `year` <= :year_max ORDER BY id DESC');

    $get_movies->bindValue(':genre', $vars['genre']);
    $get_movies->bindValue(':quality', $vars['quality']);
    $get_movies->bindValue(':imdb_min', $vars['imdb_min']);
    $get_movies->bindValue(':imdb_max', $vars['imdb_max']);
    $get_movies->bindValue(':year_min', $vars['year_min']);
    $get_movies->bindValue(':year_max', $vars['year_max']);

    try {
        $get_movies->execute();
        $movies = $get_movies->fetchAll(); // list of all movies fitting parameters
        $movie_offset = ($page - 1) * VIDEOS_PER_PAGE;
        $movies = array_slice($movies, $movie_offset, VIDEOS_PER_PAGE);
        return $movies;
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        throw $e;
        return false;
    }

}

```

The above code does not work. No exception is thrown, but it returns 0 results. However, if I built the query manually (ex: replacing each :key with the $vars['key'] and preparing the statement from the resulting string) the query returns results perfectly fine.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:
Here's the $vars array passed to the $get\_movies function.

```
$vars = array(
    'genre' => "Action", 
    'quality' => 1080, 
    'imdb_min' => 0.1,
    'imdb_max' => 10.0, 
    'year_min' => 2000,
    'year_max' => 2019
);

```
