Question

I have a table in MySQL with a date column, listing the date the row was inserted:

date
2011-12-19
2011-12-20
2011-12-21
2011-12-22
2011-12-23

ect ect....

Now I need to SELECT rows which are in a certain time period (example: 2011-12-19 – 2011-12-22).

The time period may be months, to even years..

Anyone know how I could accomplish this with PHP?

Answer 1

$sql = 'SELECT `t`.* FROM `table` AS t WHERE `t`.`date` BETWEEN ' . $dateStart . ' AND ' . $dateEnd;

Or:

$sql = 'SELECT `t`.* FROM `table` AS t WHERE `t`.`date` >= ' . $dateStart . ' AND `t`.`date` <= ' . $dateEnd;

Then execute it:

$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error();
while($fetch = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    echo $fetch['date'];
}
