I think what is happening is that the select is returning zero rows, and
so none of the output variables get set.  You should be checking that
spi_execp returns a value greater than 0 before trying to use the column
variables.

As for *why* the select returns zero rows, I think you want the query
to read like
	... where id=\\$1"
As is, it's always looking for the literal id value $1.
