SELECT WHERE DATE(`timestamp`) LIKE $sterm problems


Recommended Posts

mysql_query('SELECT * FROM `tendered` WHERE DATE(`timestamp`) LIKE $sterm') or die(mysql_error());

Where $sterm = 2010-08-28

and `timestamp` are in format 2010-07-26 17:30:29

 

I get error "Unknown column '$sterm' in 'where clause'"

 

I have no idea what could be wrong

 

What's wrong is that you're unfamiliar with how variable interpolation works.  You need to be inside double quotes -- but, of course, you may be opening yourself to SQL injection, depending on where $sterm comes from.
