Question

My table is using a datetime (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) and i need to display today’s entries.

my code is only :

SELECT   * 
FROM     table 
WHERE    date = '$date' 
ORDER    BY score DESC

with

$date = date("Y-m-d");

well, as expected it doesnt work 😐 you guys have a solution here ?

Answer 1

Following from Pascal Martin, you could extract the date part from the date+time field:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(date) = '2009-12-19'

Be aware however, that this query will not use an index on your date+time field, if you will be having one. (Stack Overflow: How does one create an index on the date part of DATETIME field in MySql)
