Hello John

There are two approaches to this.

1) Best, save date into table as a number. Select date like
WHERE date>=$date1 AND date<=$date2

2)Otherwise, if storing dates a strings:
WHERE date=$date1 OR date=$date2 OR date=$date3 OR date=$date4 OR date=$date5.....

In general, if you want to select date ranges and perform other date calculations, save the date as a unix date number then convert to human readable form as necessary.

Hi

I'm struggling with some logic

I have a table called: submissions and each record has an approvedate field
which stores the date mm/dd/yyyy

I want to display all records for 7 days only from their  approved date so I
guess something like

Select * from submissions were approvedate  - this is were im getting stuck

Pointers appreciated, im sure its simple ?

Regards
