Question

public function lookForWinner($current_game, $win_cost) {
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM game" . $current_game . " WHERE from <= ? AND to >= ?";
    $query = $this->db->prepare($sql);
    $query->execute(array($win_cost, $win_cost));
    if ($query->rowCount()) {
        $lookForWinner = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        return $lookForWinner;
    }       
    return false;
}


$lookforwinner = $objGame->lookForWinner($current_game, $wincost);

I am tryin that code but always return false. I checked my parameters : $current_game = "1" and $wincost = 0.19276355021

wincost is float type. my from and to entities' type are text in mysql. But i also tried with float type and result is same.

from and to is a reserved word use back ticks,WHERE \`from\`,to also — Mihai, Nov 24 '15 at 18:25

Remove the question marks from your query and put in what your actual values are going to be. — Caimen, Nov 24 '15 at 18:30
You`re better off in the long run changing column names,I cant english — Mihai, Nov 24 '15 at 18:30
@Caimen: it will not fix the problem. Question marks are valid in this query. — Jocelyn, Nov 24 '15 at 18:33

Use backticks for reserved words,you have 2 here

 WHERE `from` <= ? AND `to` >= ?

But really change your column names,its annoying always having to escape them
