I’m wanting to extract data from a mySQL database which shows the members with a subscription date which has expired 2 months or more from the current date. i.e. the day I run my PHP report.
I’ve tried using the query below to pull the data from my database, but it’s not extracting any data.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT userid, forename, surname, subscriptionexpiration FROM {$table} WHERE subscriptionexpiration BETWEEN DATE_SUB(now(), INTERVAL 2 MONTH) AND now() ORDER BY userid DESC");
The date is stored in my database as ddmmyy, so I’m not sure whether this is the issue or whether my query is incorrect.

<?php
$db_host = 'hostname';
$db_user = 'username';
$db_pwd = 'password';
$database = 'databasename';
$table = 'userdetails';
// use the same name as SQL table
if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
die("Can't connect to database");
if (!mysql_select_db($database))
die("Can't select database");
function sql_safe($s)
{ if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
$s = stripslashes($s);
return mysql_real_escape_string($s);
}
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
if (isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
if (isset($_POST['del']))
$userid = intval($_POST['del']);
if (mysql_query("DELETE FROM {$table} WHERE userid={$userid}"))
$msg = 'The member who you selected has now been deleted!';
else
$msg = 'Could not delete the selected member';
}
}
?>

Solution
("SELECT userid, forename, surname, subscriptionexpiration FROM {$table} WHERE subscriptionexpiration <NOW() - INTERVAL 2 MONTH ORDER BY userid DESC");
In your ‘where’ clause use datediff. This would look like
