Question

I have a simple query:

    $query1="SELECT * FROM wp_users WHERE now() < (last_login + INTERVAL 6 month)";
$result1=mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());

while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result1)){  

    $inactive_accounts[] = $rows['ID'];
}

I want it to pull in all user_id’s of people who have not logged into their account for 6 months. I have it set so when they log in, it inseerts datetime into the last_Login column.

I just wondered if this SELECT query was ok, as I am having trouble testing it. Will this show ID’s of people who have not logged in for 6 months?

Thanks!

You’re on the right lines. What you probably need is something like the DATE_SUB function in MySQL, so

SELECT *
FROM wp_users
WHERE last_login < DATE_SUB( NOW(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH )
