figured out the problem. For reference see below I got this from the
php.net page.

If you're using bindParam in a loop such as this:

$counter=1;
foreach($email as $val){
$stmt->bindParam($counter, $val, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$counter++;
}

It will fail because $val is local and the variable is bound as a
reference and will only be evaluated at the time that PDOStatement-
>execute() is called.

So use bindValue instead.
