Question

In my MySQL database, I have a startdate and an enddate field. Using today’s date from PHP, is there a way to only select rows where the startdate is before today’s date and the enddate is after today’s date?

Answer 1

Try

WHERE startdate >= todays_date AND enddate <= todaysdate

or

WHERE todays_date BETWEEN startdate and enddate

Docs for BETWEEN here

Rather than use PHP to get the current date use the build in MySQL function CURDATE() so :

WHERE startdate >= CURDATE() AND enddate <= CURDATE()

or

WHERE CURDATE() BETWEEN startdate and enddate
