corbin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html is your friend. DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAYS) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147468-query-tomorrow/#findComment-774101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenway Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 DAY -- singular; checking mysql_error() and the refman would have told you that. N.B. you've now started 3 threads on basically the same topic... I would caution you against starting another one when there are existing threads to continue.

corbin Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Ahhh didn't see this thread. DAY, not DAYS? Damn..... ;p I would've thought DAYS would work since what if it had been like 3 DAYS. Or would it still have been DAY? INTERVAL 3 DAY would bug me forever.

dadamssg Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 k this isn't really the same as querying tom, but im trying not to open any new threads anyways....im trying to query today...i thought i had it. I want to query everything going on today, whether its starting, ending, or today lands in between start and end. this is what i have which almost works... SELECT * FROM test WHERE start <= NOW() AND end >= NOW() ORDER BY start ASC it does not, however, pull up events that are happenning today but haven't started yet, examples below i queried this at 12:50 pm and it pulled up id start end 88 | 2/4/2009 1:00pm | 3/4/2009 1:00pm 85 | 3/1/2009 1:00pm | 3/3/2009 2:00pm 98 | 3/4/2009 1:00am | 3/6/2009 9:30pm 104 | 3/3/2009 1:00am | 3/3/2009 4:00pm all these are correct BUT i also had the following in the database that it did NOT pull up id start end 103 | 3/3/2009 1:00pm | 3/3/2009 7:00pm 105 | 3/3/2009 2:00pm | 3/3/2009 7:00pm it didn't because 'start <= NOW()' but i don't really now what to replace this part with oh and then when i queried at 1:10pm it pulled up event #103 of course REAL LONG post but help would be MUCH appreciated thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147468-query-tomorrow/#findComment-775874 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenway Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Why not NOW() BETWEEN start AND end ? (obviously, it's better to expand that for index usage ) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147468-query-tomorrow/#findComment-776210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadamssg Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 i LOVE new perspectives, thanks man. question though...is this the same as what you suggested?

fenway Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 No, that's the opposite... and why are you mixing curdate and now? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147468-query-tomorrow/#findComment-776429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadamssg Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 how is that the opposite? im using curdate() and now() because i am storing events that have start and end datetimes and i don't want to pull up events that have already ended Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147468-query-tomorrow/#findComment-776485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Sorry, going cross-eyed today, that looks fine -- I still don't see why you can't directly compare NOW() to start, though.

dadamssg Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 its because if i compare now() to start and the event starts today at 9:00pm and its 4:30 right now it won't show if start <=NOW() Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147468-query-tomorrow/#findComment-776750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
