Question

I have a table in my database that stores user input as a start date and end date after that, my users will have to select a time range and I have to display those records in the table that are within this time range?

Tried stritotime(); and many other unctions but somehow I can’t get the right results..

Any possible solution would be appreciated.

Thank you!

May be with:

 SELECT count(*) FROM `table` 
 where 
 created_at>='2011-03-17 06:42:10' and created_at<='2011-03-17 06:42:50';

or use between:

  SELECT count(*) FROM `table` 
  where 
  created_at between '2011-03-17 06:42:10' and '2011-03-17 06:42:50';

it depends on your record what u want to display because i didnt see your table and an exemple what you you really to do so just change count(*) and get whatrecords you want.

EDIT:
if the users will select a range of time then they will be variables

then it will be something like that

   SELECT records FROM `table` 
   where 
  created_at >= '".$var_start_time."' and ended_at <= '".$var_end_time."';
