Smudly Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm creating a daily drawing system. The users have a chance to win every day. Once a user wins, they will not be able to win again for 30 days. I need to select all rows inside my mysql database that have dates over 30 days ago, or are still set as default (0000-00-00). How can I do something like this? I've tried a few different ways but none seem to work. Once these rows are selected, it randomly chooses 3 winners, and sets their new dates to the current date. Current code: <?php include_once('../inc/connect.php'); $date = date("Y-m-d"); $drawquery = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1"); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($drawquery); $wondaily = $row['wondaily']; $userid = $row['id']; echo $userid; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208493-finding-rows-where-date-was-over-30-days-ago-or-was-not-set/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbraCadaver Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Haven't tested, but maybe (or similar): $drawquery = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM users ORDER BY rand() WHERE (`date_column` INTERVAL + 30 DAYS) > CURDATE() AND DATE(`date_column`) <> '0000-00-00' LIMIT 1"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/208493-finding-rows-where-date-was-over-30-days-ago-or-was-not-set/#findComment-1089390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
