Always writes that there is no such record?

Question

PHP

Help please, I use PDO mysql and send a query to the database. If such an entry is found, it will display what was found, if not, it will display what was not found. But nothing works! How to fix ?

$query = $link->query("SELECT * FROM `BetGamesOne` WHERE `tirazh` = '$tirazh'");
$row = $query->rowCount();
if($row > 0) 
{
  echo "Найдено!";
}
else {
  echo "Не найдено!";
}

Answer 1

If $tirazh is a variable then

$query = $link->query("SELECT * FROM `BetGamesOne` WHERE `tirazh` = '"+$tirazh+"'");
$row = $query->rowCount();
if($row > 0) 
{
  echo "Найдено!";
}
else {
  echo "Не найдено!";
}
