What improvements can be made to the PHP code provided in the forum thread to ensure correct data mapping?

The issue with the provided PHP code is that it does not properly handle data mapping between the database query results and the PHP object properties. To ensure correct data mapping, we can use the `fetch_assoc()` method to fetch an associative array representing the fetched row, and then map the array values to the object properties. 

// Fetch data from the database query
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();

// Map database query results to object properties
if ($row) {
    $user = new User();
    $user->id = $row['id'];
    $user->name = $row['name'];
    $user->email = $row['email'];
    // Assign other properties as needed
}
