Question

I need to check date + 1 month from DB with correct date. I try:

$todayDate = date("Y-m-d");
$dateOneMonthAdded = strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($todayDate)) . "+1 month");

$result = mysql_query('SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP("date") AS date FROM followform WHERE id = "28"') or die(mysql_error());  
$date = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

if ($dateOneMonthAdded == $date['date']) echo 'nice';

But $date[‘date’] == 0

If I use – mysql_query('SELECT date FROM followform WHERE id = "28"')

$date['date'] == 2012-08-13

Where is my mistake?

Answer 1

UNIX_TIMESTAMP("date") should be UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date). With the quotes in there, it’s trying to convert the literal string “date” to a timestamp.
