RE: Date and Mysql...
Hi again... Hi, When I felt proud because last week I had asked about how to use NOW(), and get answer that got me working, but now I have a strange problem. It listing dates, but it not listing like it should, when the web page is create it going 9, 8, 5, 10 on the dates. Here is the SQL statement I am using... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) =5 ORDER BY DATE DESC Date_format returns a string, so 10 is indeed below 5. You could try something like Another problem I am having with another statement. The following statement should list birthdays that are 7 days out but it not... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DOB, '%M %D, %Y') as DOB, Fname, Lname, Email FROM emply_info WHERE (TO_DAYS(DOB) - TO_DAYS(NOW())) =5 AND (TO_DAYS(DOB) = TO_DAYS(NOW())) and Tdate is NULL and DOB is not null ORDER BY DOB, Lname Any clue why my SQL statement worked once are now not working? Thanks a head of time.

Re: Date and Mysql...
Your alias and column name are the same. Which one do you think is being tested? Also DATE is a reserved word. Chuck \PUP\ Payne wrote: Hi again...

»Chuck PUP Payne« sagte am 2002-04-10 um 10:27:19 -0400 : going 9, 8, 5, 10 on the dates. Here is the SQL statement I am using... That's because your DATE which you've made with DATE_FORMAT is treated as string. To fix it, I'd write: SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) =5 ORDER BY DATE DESC SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE, '%M %D, %Y') AS DATE_DSP, DATE, Title, Links, Summary FROM news WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(DATE) =5 ORDER BY DATE DESC This way, you can display the nicely formated date in DATE_DSP and still got a good copy of date around.
