I’m currently getting “top rated articles” by summing vote values from ‘votes’ table against articles from ‘stories’ table.

Current PHP query:

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' FROM stories JOIN votes ON stories.id = votes.item_name GROUP BY stories.id ORDER BY total_votes DESC LIMIT 10") or die (mysql_error("There was an error in connection"));

Database Structure:

stories table:

votes table:

But I would like to know how to display information within different time periods. Say show top rated articles “today” “last week” “last month” “last year”. Basing on article creation date st_date from ‘stories’ table. I just need those 4 (today, last week, month, year) different queries or parts that are responsible to get data within different time periods.

    $date1 = "TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(stories.st_date) = 0";
$date2 = "TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(stories.st_date) <= 7";
$date3 = "TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(stories.st_date) <= 31";
$date4 = "TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(stories.st_date) <= 365";

$query = "SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' FROM stories JOIN votes ON stories.id = votes.item_name WHERE ".$date1." GROUP BY stories.id ORDER BY total_votes DESC LIMIT 10"
$query = "SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' FROM stories JOIN votes ON stories.id = votes.item_name WHERE ".$date2." GROUP BY stories.id ORDER BY total_votes DESC LIMIT 10"
$query = "SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' FROM stories JOIN votes ON stories.id = votes.item_name WHERE ".$date3." GROUP BY stories.id ORDER BY total_votes DESC LIMIT 10"
$query = "SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' FROM stories JOIN votes ON stories.id = votes.item_name WHERE ".$date4." GROUP BY stories.id ORDER BY total_votes DESC LIMIT 10"
