PHP CRUD Operations with PHP Updating and Deleting Records Updating Records

Code seems to work but it won't pass. Any thoughts?

I wasn't sure how to go about this task, I probably over complicated things. However, it seems that I did what was asked but I keep getting: "The SQL statement should set the project_id equal to a placeholder."

Any thoughts?

index.php 
<?php
function reassign_task($old, $new) {
    include 'connection.php';

    //add code here
  function test($data){

    echo $data;
  }
  $sql_get = 'SELECT title, date, time FROM tasks WHERE project_id = ?';
  $get_results = $db->prepare($sql_get);
  $get_results->bindValue(1, $old);
  $get_results->execute();

  $get_results = $get_results->fetchAll();

  var_dump($get_results[0]['title']);

  $sql_update = 'UPDATE tasks SET title = ?, date = ?, time = ? WHERE project_id = ?';
  try{
  $insert = $db->prepare($sql_update);
  $insert->bindValue(1, $get_results[0]['title']);
  $insert->bindValue(2, $get_results[0]['date']);
  $insert->bindValue(3, $get_results[0]['time']);
  $insert->bindValue(4, $new);
  $insert->execute();


  }catch(Exception $e){
    echo $e;
    return test('false');
  }

  return test('true');

}

The goal of the function is to reassign a task. So you will need just one SQL statement that sets project_id equal to $new where project_id equals $old in tasks.
