Question

I have a SQL Database. In here is a table called Reports and it looks like this

ID       Date            Year     Title            Links
1        2010-05-03      2010     Report 1         link1.php
2        2010-09-03      2010     Report 2         link2.php
3        2011-01-05      2011     Report 3         link3.php

What I’m trying to achieve it the this. I want to select all the reports of 2010-2011 but the ones from 2010 may only be those dating from september.

Right now, I’ve got a SQL statement selecting all the reports of the two years

$sql = "SELECT * FROM Reports WHERE Year = ".$db->escape($jaar1)." OR jaar = ".$db->escape($jaar2);

How can I select Report 2 (cause it dates from september 2010) and Report 3 (cause it dates from 2011)?

Answer 1

The easiest way as I see it, is to use the BETWEEN...AND operator.

SELECT * 
FROM `Reports`
WHERE `Date` BETWEEN '2010-09-01' AND NOW()

Note the backticks. Especially important around Date, because it is a reserved word.
