Question

I worked on ads project, any posts on it have certain period to display,
example: ( toyota cara model 2011 for sell ) this add will expire after one week.
when i inserted it into database i select that it will disabled after one week all i need right now that after one week this post disabled automatically from query in front page

How can I do it using PHP and MYSQL?

Answer 1

Instead of running cron jobs or whatever: Only SELECT ad listings that have been posted in the last week.

SELECT `listing_title`, `etc` FROM `ad_listing`
WHERE `date_posted` BETWEEN date_sub(now(), INTERVAL 1 WEEK) AND now();
