Question

I have a problem getting certain data from my database by querying a date range. In my database i have a DATE type field within the format YYYY-MM-DD. I want to get all data within a date range of today + 2 weeks (Expiring).

I have wrote:

$format = 'Y-m-j'; 
$date = date ( $format ); 
$new = date ( $format, strtotime ( '+14 day' . $date ) );   
$start = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($new));        
$today = date('Y-m-d');
$q = "SELECT * FROM listing WHERE dd_end BETWEEN '".$today."' AND '".$start."'";
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($q)){
      $listing_id = $row['listing_id'];
      echo "$listing_id";
}

So what I want to achieve is for the query to pull all the rows from now until 5th October. I’ve echo’d the variables and they show they’re in the correct form (YYYY-MM-DD) to compare within the database but no results are returning.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in return.

Answer 1

Well, assuming that the mysql database has the same date that your server, you could let the mysql database do all the date calculations.

A little something like this:

SELECT * 
FROM listing 
WHERE dd_end BETWEEN CURDATE() AND (CURDATE() + INTERVAL 14 DAY)

On the other hand, i think Paul S‘s answer may fix your problem.

Edit:
You forgot to call mysql_query before the mysql_fetch_assoc() function.

$result = mysql_query($q);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
   $listing_id = $row['listing_id'];
   echo "$listing_id";    
}
