Here's how I would do it. (I'm sure that you'll probably get other solutions as well.)
$query = "SELECT * FROM designs, appliquetable, puffyfoamtable WHERE
designs.puffyfoam = puffyfoamtable.puffyfoam AND
designs.applique = appliquetable.applique AND
TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(designs.designadddate) <= 14
GROUP BY catcode
ORDER BY designfile";That is unless you are allowing people to enter future dates in the tables. Unless there is a good reason, I generally have error routines prevent future dates into the table.

I have a column in my mySql database that holds a date that I've added each record called
designadddate
I'm trying to create a filter to only pull up the records that have been added over the last two weeks. This is my code ... I added the echo for the $today and $twoweeksago variables to make sure something was being calculated, they are showing up correct as 2003-03-03 and 2003-02-17 ... but it isn't pulling up any records -- it's not bombing out and giving me the Couldn't execute query message - but I know there's three records that I made sure had dates in between this range. I also tried using BETWEEN and it didn't seem to work either.
$today = date ("Y-m-d"); $twoweeksago = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date(m), date(d)-14, date(Y)));
echo"$today\n"; echo"$twoweeksago\n";
/* Select designs of the given type */ $query = "SELECT * FROM designs, appliquetable, puffyfoamtable WHERE designs.puffyfoam = puffyfoamtable.puffyfoam AND designs.applique = appliquetable.applique AND (designs.designadddate <= $today AND designs.designadddate >= $twoweeksago)GROUP BY catcode ORDER BY designfile"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Couldn't execute query.");
Any help would me much appreciated!
