Question

I am working on a file management project, where I have expiry dates for every file. I need to list all the files that are going to expire the next year. What will be the SQL query?

should it be something like:

$date = date ('Y-m-j');
$newdate = strtotime ( '+1 year' , strtotime ( $date ) ) ;
$newdate = date ( 'Y-m-j' , $newdate );
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `files` WHERE `expDate` = year ($newdate)" ;

Answer 1

Try:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `files` WHERE YEAR(`expDate`) = YEAR(NOW()) + 1" ;
