Question

I am having trouble pulling a query where i want to return results that contain a particular word in a field AND that are between a certain date range. The query i am using now is:

        $month_no = date('m');
        $month_day = date('d');         
        $query="SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE ((user_purchased LIKE '%john%') AND (request_date BETWEEN '2011-$month_no-$month_day' AND '2011-$month_no-$month_day')) ";
        $result = mysql_query($query);
        $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);  echo $num_rows;

My date format in the ‘request_date field is like this:
2011-10-03 12:30:34

Any ideas on what i am doing wrong?

Thanks!

What happens if you try:

BETWEEN '2011-$month_no-$month_day 00:00:00' AND
'2011-$month_no-$month_day 23:59:59')) ";
