Question

I try to delete a row in my DDB in 1 week.

I wrote:

<?php
//in my page
//On click
$today=date("Ymd");
$query = 'INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (id,val,date),("", "'.$val.'", "'.$today'")';
dbb_exe($query);
?>

<?php
//in my header
//Check my table
$today=date("Ymd");

$query = 'SELECT date FROM mytable WHERE id=.'(int)$_GET['id'];
$r_date = dbb_exe($query);

//Here it's where i want delete my row if the row exists since 1 week

if($r_date==($today - "1week")){
//DELETE row
$query = 'DELETE FROM mytable WHERE id=.'(int)$_GET['id];
dbb_exe($query);
}


?>

As you see i don t know how to calcul the var “1week”,

right now i m reading strtotime to try something like $date= strtotime($today);
but i m lost , anyyway i have all the day(+night) to success

Red bull and stackoverflow are my friends.

Thanks to the community

Have a nice day

Instead of doing all work with php, I believe you can try something like:

DELETE FROM mytable WHERE date = DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY)

This should delete all records from mytable with date equals to the 1 week ago.

Replace = to < if you want to delete all records older than 1 week.
