Question

I’ve this query

SELECT * 
FROM  `t_activities` 
WHERE  `uid` =2
AND  `del` =0
AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(  `time` ) < 1327518485
ORDER BY  `id` DESC 
LIMIT 4

The image below is what is returned.

The time 1327518485 is actually converted from the datetime string '2012-01-25 20:08:05' using php strtotime('2012-01-25 20:08:05').

With the query, I’m expecting to load files which were inserted prior to '2012-01-25 20:08:05' or 1327518485; but the result still has files inserted after it.

Is there something wrong with the way I handled the conditioning at the query?

Answer 1

You don’t need to do the timestamp conversion. You can just do:

`time` < '2012-01-25 20:08:05'

You may have timezone issues with the timestamp.
