I have a standard mysql timestamp in this format 2011-11-14 20:06:24 . This timestamp will be added whenever a new record is added to the table with the name lead.

I have two input fields for the user to enter from date and to date in dd/mm/yyyy format. Once the user enters both dates and press a button the values will be passsed to other field to get the records from the table lead which are inserted between the time range.

I tried the below query but its not working

SELECT  DATE_FORMAT(added_on, '%d/%m/%Y') as date
FROM    lead
WHERE   added_on BETWEEN "10/11/2011" AND "14/11/2011"

    Use standard format for dates, datetimes and timestamps: '2011-11-14' and not '14/11/2011'.

    Use single quotes, not double quotes.

    If added_on is a timestamp, you should not use BETWEEN or you’ll lose almost all records from the last day because '2011-11-14' will be converted to '2011-11-14 00:00:00'. Use this instead:

    WHERE   added_on >= '2011-11-10'
  AND   added_on <  '2011-11-15'              --- note the "< the next day"

    or

    WHERE   added_on >=  '2011-11-10'
  AND   added_on <  ('2011-11-14' + INTERVAL 1 DAY)

    You should read carefully the MySQL docs: TIMESTAMP properties page for how timestamps are handled (and auto-inserted, updated) in MySQL and the MySQL docs: Timezone support.
