Question

I want to get rows from a table based on different dates. Although values of the dates are not always the same.

Basically I have to get first what are the range of the dates and then extract the rows of the columns based on those dates.

I cant do SELECT COUNT(location) FROM tweets WHERE date<= NOW() or date<=2012-07-29 17:38:32

cause as I said dates are not fixed. I DON’T PUT THE DATES but they are dynamically created.

Answer 1

Well, the crux of this is how the dates are generated but the query is simple:

$start = '2012-6-24';
$end   = '2012-7-24';

"SELECT COUNT(location) FROM tweets WHERE date between '$start' and '$end'";
