I have following table :
id dateStart dateEnd active
1 2012-11-12 2012-12-31 0
2 2012-11-12 2012-12-31 0
I want to compare todays date in between dateStart and dateEnd.
Following is my query for this :
$todaysDate="2012-26-11";
$db = Zend_Registry::get("db");
$result = $db->fetchAll("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE active=0 AND {$todaysDate} between dateStart and dateEnd");
return $result;
But its not working.
Any solution.
Thanks in advance.
Try this :: This will solve your problem
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE active=0 AND CURDATE() between dateStart and dateEnd
MySQL uses YYYY-MM-DD by default:
$todaysDate="2012-26-11";
should be:
$todaysDate="2012-11-26";
And you need single quotes around it in the query.
$todaysDate="2012-11-26";//changed date
$db = Zend_Registry::get("db");
$select=$db->query("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE active=0 AND {$todaysDate} between dateStart and dateEnd");
$result = $select->fetchAll();
return $result;
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM register WHERE CURDATE() between reg_start_date and reg_end_date") or die(mysql_error());
You needed to put single quotes around the changed date:
"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE active=0 AND '{$todaysDate}' between dateStart and dateEnd"
