$stmt->close();
$array[‘err’] = true;
$array[‘message’] = ‘You need more coins’;
echo json_encode($array);
exit();
}[/php]

You don’t select the specific amount.

You select the amount they have. Then, check to see if they have enough of a balance to transfer to someone else. Next, transfer the amount to the other person. Lastly, deduct the amount from the original person.

Also, this should be done using a sql transaction. Reason being, if either the transfer or the deduction fails, you want to roll back everything.
