Having trouble with this query. It returns an empty array even though I know the variables are correct and that multiple rows exist in the database that match. 

$results_a = $wpdb->get_results(
                        $wpdb->prepare("SELECT * 
                                        FROM $wpdb->custom_table 
                                        WHERE 'FK_show'=%d 
                                            AND 'season`=%d",
                                        $FK_show,
                                        $season),
                                    ARRAY_A
                                    );

    there is a ~ tilda instead of a single quote after 'season'. I have fixed this but same problem is happening.

  • the value of $wpdb->custom_table returns 'wp_geasons' (it is the wordpress prefix + a custom table name).

  • I generated the following PHP code using MySQL: $sql = "SELECT * FROM wp_gseasons WHERE season=1 AND FK_show=94"; - which are the values for the variables I am using. This query returns 17 results in MYSQL

  • both 'FK_show' and 'season' are of type INT(11)

When the query was done using ~ (tilda) quotes around columns in the SQL instead of the ' it worked. It has something to do with the collation of my tables in MySQL, I believe.
