Question

Can anyone help me, i have a string which passes date as (YY-mm-dd) eg. 2012-11-16. I want to get records from my database using PHP to get records for the last 7 days. My database contains unix timestamp in date&time format. How can I get records for the past 7 days from current day using PHP.

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(yourdate) >= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)

This works on a “per day” basis. Use this to be accurate on second basis:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE yourdate >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)
