Question

I have a table called events with 5 fields. Among those fields I have the eventDate field (date type field) in which I keep the date when the event will take place.

I made a dropdown with options to select from the events table.
1. All events (contains just the events from today and from the future, excluding those from the past)
2. Events this week
3. Events next week
4. Events next month

Can smbd help me with the SELECT statements for this, in MYSQL?

Answer 1

function x_week_range($date) {
                $ts = strtotime($date);
                $start = (date('w', $ts) == 0) ? $ts : strtotime('last sunday', $ts);
                return array(date('Y-m-d', $start),
                                         date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next saturday', $start)));
        }


        //all events


        $sql = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE eventDate>='".date("Y-m-d")."' ";
        echo $sql."<br />";


        //current week 

        list($start_date, $end_date) = x_week_range(date("Y-m-d"));

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE eventDate>='$start_date' AND eventDate<'$end_date'";
        echo $sql."<br />";


        //next week 
        $nextweek  = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")  , date("d")+7, date("Y"));
        $nextweek_day =  date("Y-m-d",$nextweek);


        list($start_date, $end_date) = x_week_range($nextweek_day);

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE eventDate>='$start_date' AND eventDate<'$end_date'";
        echo $sql."<br />";

        //next month
        $m = date("m");
        $y = date("Y");

        $start_date = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,$m+1,1,$y));
        $end_date = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,$m+2,1-1,$y));

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE eventDate>='$start_date' AND eventDate<'$end_date'";
        echo $sql."<br />";
