Question

I have a database of events that are used to fill a PHP calender. I want to also have a page that lists three upcoming events in date order when ever the page loads. The records have a separate field for day, month and year. The issue i run in to is getting records that accrue after the current date.

Answer 1

Table structure will be good to have but I will guess the query that you need. Use that as a point to start from.

SELECT * FROM events WHERE CONCAT(year,'-',month,'-',date) > DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y-%m-%d')
ORDER BY year DESC, month DESC, date DESC LIMIT 3;
