sql & pdo syntax error? : <p>i have a pdo statement for select all rows for  row count.... i keep getting this error "Call to member function execute() on Boolean" ...i have tripple checked my statement and database table but cant find anything wrong</p>

<pre><code>$stmt = $connection-&gt;prepare("SELECT * FROM users_profile WHERE email=:email");
            var_dump($connection-&gt;error);
            $stmt-&gt;execute(":email",$email);
