The task gets added but I'm not redirected to the tasks. I just get an error saying, "Could not add project".

Here's the code....

<?php
//application functions

function get_project_list() {
    include 'connection.php';

    try {
        return $db->query( 'SELECT project_id, title, category FROM projects' );
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        echo "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br />";
        return array();
    }
}


function add_project($title, $category){
    include 'connection.php';

    $sql = 'INSERT INTO projects(title, category) VALUES(?, ?)';

    try {
        $results = $db->prepare($sql);
        $results->bindValue(1, $title, PDO::PARAM_STR);
        $results->bindValue(2, $title, PDO::PARAM_STR);
        $results->execute();
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br />";
        return false;
    }
}

$pageTitle = "Project | Time Tracker";
$page = "projects";

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $title = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'title', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));
    $category = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'category', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING));

    if (empty($title) || empty($category)) {
        $error_message = 'Please fill in the required fields: Title, Category';
    } else {
        if (add_project($title, $category)) {
            header('Location: project_list.php');
            exit;
        } else {
            $error_message = 'Could not add project';
        }
    }
}```
