Question

I’m using this code to select some rows with date less than a certain day. When I put <= (less than) in the sql in throws me a fatal error. It works (without error but wrong results) when only adding =.

I’m using PHP-MySQLi-Database-Class from https://github.com/ajillion/PHP-MySQLi-Database-Class

$params = array($id, $day, $day);
$results = $db->rawQuery("
       SELECT * 
       FROM `forecasts` 
       WHERE `geonameid`=? and (DAY(time_from) <= DAY(?) 
       OR DAY(time_to) <= DAY(?))", $params);

Fatal error: Problem preparing query (SELECT * FROM forecasts WHERE geonameid=? and (DAY(time_from) ) You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ”

What I am doing wrong?

Looks like it’s PHP-MySQLi-Database-Class problem.
Line 101, function rawQuery

$this->_query = filter_var($query, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);

this function strip tags, and result for your query is

SELECT * FROM `forecasts` WHERE `geonameid`=? and (DAY(time_from)

so you can just replace this line with

$this->_query = $query;
