php pdo namespace fatal error in class extend

Question

I created connection class that returns pdo connection object. Other model classes extend that class. In view mode, I try to get output using namespace and autoload class, but it occur some fatal error 'call to a member function query() on a non-object' . Help me to solve this.

This is Connection.php

namespace myproject;
use PDO;

class Connection
{

    private $host = "localhost";
    private $user = "root";
    private $pass = "";
    private $dbname = "mydb";
    public $dbh;
    private $error;


    public function __construct()
    {

        $dsn = 'mysql:host=' . $this->host . ';dbname=' . $this->dbname;

        try{
            $this->dbh = new PDO($dsn, $this->user, $this->pass);
            $this->dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
            return $this->dbh;
        }
        // Catch any errors
        catch(PDOException $e){
            $this->error = $e->getMessage();
        }
    }
} 

Then I extend this class to other class Form.php

namespace myproject;
use myproject\Connection;

class Form extends Connection
{
    public function GetUser($id)
    {
        $sql = "select * from users where uid='$id'";
        $query = $this->dbh->query($sql);
        $data = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        $uname = $data[first_name]." ".$data[last_name];
        return $uname;  
    }
}

In front-end page, it came error message I pointed out above.

namespace myproject;
include 'Form.php';
include 'Connection.php';

$test = new Form();
echo $test->GetUser(1);

Your Form.php file should be:-

namespace myproject;
use PDO;  // add this line

class Form extends Connection{
    public function GetUser($id)
    {
        $sql = "select * from users where uid='$id'";
        $query = $this->dbh->query($sql);
        $data = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        // added single quotes around first_name and last_name
        $uname = $data['first_name']." ".$data['last_name']; // added single quotes around first_name and last_name
        return $uname;  
    }
}

Your View file should be:-

<?php
namespace myproject;
include 'Connection.php'; // include connection file first
include 'Form.php'; // include form file second

$test = new Form();
echo $test->GetUser(1);

Hope it will help you :-)
