Question

I’m trying to develop a simple php based schedule …

This is my database table:

Let’s say that current time/date is: 2012-03-21 02:00:00

PHP script should echo: Meeting 2

I have a part of the script, but no idea what to do next

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con){die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());}
mysql_select_db("schedule", $con);

$current_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

  echo $row['Subject'];
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

How to filter query, to mach current time and scheduled subject? Thank you!

(if current_time is between StartTime and EndTime – echo it’s Subject)

Answer 1

Try this query

SELECT * FROM events WHERE NOW() BETWEEN StartTime AND EndTime
