Question

hello i have mysql select. i’m going to select loc from core. This loc must select from rows which has dateid=(‘”.$dateid.”‘) and location=(‘”.$id.”‘) also i need to add two condition in WHERE. I mean can i do this like a WHERE dateid=(‘”.$dateid.”‘) AND location=(‘”.$id.”‘) AND BETWEEN ‘2012-10-1’ AND ‘2012-10-4′” this is not working.
how can i add this time span?

$SQL = "SELECT loc FROM core WHERE dateid=('".$dateid."') AND location=('".$id."')";

$result = mysql_query($SQL);
 if($result){
$db_field = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$rs[$i]=$db_field[$select[$i]];}

}

can i add start date and end date in where?
how can i do this?

Answer 1

Just remove the braces in first two and add remaining two filters with AND operator. You should be good i.e.

  SELECT loc FROM core WHERE dateid=$dateid AND location=$id
       AND startdate = STR_TO_DATE('$startdate', '%d/%m/%y') 
       AND enddate = STR_TO_DATE('$enddate', '%d/%m/%y') ;

I am assuming dateid and id are numeric fields while startdate and enddate are string values containing date values e.g. 12/12/2012.

Please use the right column and variable names. Also provide to date format of your string.
