Question

So apparently i’ve stumbled upon a coding error when trying to select the time from my database.

SELECT * FROM `videos` WHERE `added_time` > AddTime( CurTime(), '14400 hour' )

is the code, i’m trying to select all the videos posted 10 days (14400 hours) ago using the “added_time” format, because it worked for my previous coding but in this one it work work.

Shown below is a link to the image showing how my database structure for videos are shown.

Edit: Previously i had this problem for retrieving and deleting bulletins posted 10 days ago, and this code worked, however this code apparently won’t work when trying to retrieve the videos :/ I don’t know why, they’re using the same format.

Answer 1

Get the actual date of added_time, then get the the date from 10 days prior to NOW().

WHERE DATE(added_time) = DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 10 DAY)

You can change it to <= if you want to delete anything 10 days and greater.

— Well now that we know one of them is a string and not a date field. Conver it.

// Change %Y-%m-%d to your date 
STR_TO_DATE(added_date, '%Y-%m-%d')

After a little chat discussion and SQL Fiddlin’ I got the answer, and it works for him. Cheers.

SELECT *
FROM videos_shared
WHERE DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(added_date, '%a %b %d, %Y, %H:%i'), '%Y-%m-%d') 
<= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 10 DAY)
