Question

i have this query which helps me show only the records that have an initiation day equal to today..

I have a yesterday variable..i Need to access like this:

$strSQL = "SELECT forma.*, SMS_MONTIME.IDTICKET, SMS_MONTIME.MBYLLUR,SMS_MONTIME.time_added
FROM forma 
LEFT JOIN SMS_MONTIME ON forma.ID = SMS_MONTIME.IDTICKET WHERE forma.data_fillim = '$today'  ORDER BY forma.id DESC"; 

I need to modify it to something like:

$strSQL = "SELECT forma.*, SMS_MONTIME.IDTICKET, SMS_MONTIME.MBYLLUR,SMS_MONTIME.time_added
FROM forma 
LEFT JOIN SMS_MONTIME ON forma.ID = SMS_MONTIME.IDTICKET WHERE forma.data_fillim = '$today' AND forma.data_fillim = '$yesterday'  ORDER BY forma.id DESC"; 

Thanks

Shooting in the dark, but how about changing AND to OR? If you already have $yesterday in the same format as $today but just that it is a different date, then you can use OR. Alternatively you may use:

forma.data_fillim in ('$today', '$yesterday')

It also depends on what it is you REALLY want to do. If you are expecting a result for items inclusive of $yesterday and $today then you may use:

(forma.data_fillim >= '$yesterday') and (forma.data_fillim <= '$today')

If you are expecting a result for items that are either $yesterday or $today then you may use the previous snippet above (the one with the IN statement) OR use this

(forma.data_fillim = '$yesterday') or (forma.data_fillim = '$today')

You may use BETWEEN syntax which is true for MySQL and MSSQL. I’m not sure about Oracle:

• MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/comparison-operators.html#operator_between
• MSSQL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187922(v=sql.100).aspx

I hope this helps
