What is the easiest way to do this ? Can it be done with just a simple MySQL query ? I actually enter the date as shown above, I dont use the MySQL dates. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Where's the PHP code you're using now? What does the query look like in there? You probably want something like this: SELECT * FROM students WHERE join_date = '10/12/04' AND join_date = '12/12/04'; But I'm doubting your dates are stored in that format, and I bet there's more than one table to consider as well. Again, where's the PHP code you're asking a question about? -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you're not storing your dates as a real date/time column but as simple varchar column then you've created unnecessary work for yourself. I strongly suggest that you use proper date column types and then you can take advantage of the date handling functions available in MySQL. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* A beer delayed is a beer denied. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
