Fetch does indeed pull the data from the database one at a time, but you need to iterate through the rows until you have all the data.

You might want to pop this into a loop to get all the data:

$stmtAA->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

Something like this should do the trick:

while($row=$this->prepared->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
    $this->ID=$row['id'];
    $something=$row['something'];
}

Depending on if you are populating variables or have the code within an object.
