Question

How can I do a select from a db field that uses a timestamp when all I have from php is a date?

$date = 2012-10-03;

something like:

"select value from table where completed_date = $date" 

only the value for completed_date is really something like “2012-10-03 02:16:10” what I really would like is all values that are the same day as $date and for the query to almost disregard the time aspect of the timestamp for this query. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Given that your provided date is already a valid mysql datestamp, it can be as simple as:

SELECT ... WHERE DATE(completed_date)='2012-10-03'
