Question

I need to get the selected time range from the a mySQL database but I’m really struggling… Basically – The list of times are:

id     Start        End
1      2:00         3:00
2      3:00         4:00
3      4:00         5:00

I selected:

2:00         3:00
3:00         4:00

I want to get the id of the selected dates

Here is what I have tried:

SELECT id FROM DB WHERE start_time BETWEEN '$from_time' AND '$to_time';

But the code doesn’t work, it only gets the selected 2:00 - 3:00 time and not the 3:00 - 4:00 time.

When I try:

SELECT id FROM DB WHERE start_time >= '$from_time' AND to_time <= '$to_time';

I get NO resutls… Please help..

Try this:

select id from table where '$from_time' >= start_time and '$to_time' <= to_time;
