And, really, to be 100% certain, you'd want to echo out the query you've built after $start_string is interpolated. $query = "SELECT ... '$start_string' ..."; echo $query, "\n"; mysql_query($query, $connection); After you've done that, it's dollars to donuts that you won't need us to answer the question. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] php - mysql query issue
Also you should check if dates.date is a DATE type, not DATETIME. Lost some time on that when I wanted to select enregs for a specific date, field was DATETIME and I was querying `date` = '2006-01-01'... :p Andy Dave Goodchild wrote: > On 15/09/06, Brad Bonkoski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Have you tried echoing out your query to run on the backend itself? >> Maybe there is some problem with how your join is being constructed... >> Perhaps a left outer join is called for?

I think you're right on the join stakes, I will investigate further, many thanks and have a great weekend.

Have you tried echoing out your query to run on the backend itself? Maybe there is some problem with how your join is being constructed... Perhaps a left outer join is called for?
