$numrow = mysql_num_rows($results) ;
$i = 0;
While ($i < $numrow)
$shownotes = mysql_result($results,$i,'notes');
echo $shownotes."<br>";
{
Echo "Records found ".$i."<br>";
$i++;
}
}

 

The $start, and $end don't seem to be getting any values

Add the 3 indicated lines, and see what exactly is in the post array. If they aren't there, disable javascript in your browser, enter something in the text fields and try it again.

 

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

echo '<pre>'; // <----- ADD
print_r($_POST); // <----- ADD
echo '</pre>'; // <----- ADD

$start = $_POST['start'];
$end = $_POST['end'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `corps` WHERE `notedate` BETWEEN '$start' AND '$end'"

Array

(

    [start] => 1-2-2011

    [end] => 5-2-2011

    [submit] => Look Up

)

 

 

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home5/ccccomma/public_html/test.php on line 29

 

Line 29 is: $shownotes = mysql_result($results,$i,'notes');

Ok got rid of the error but back to my first problem noting is showing up on the page

 

<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="datetimepicker.js">

</head>
<form action="main.php?id=test.php" method="post">

    End Date: <input name="end" id="end" type="text" size="10">
  <a href="javascript:NewCal('end','ddmmyyyy')"><img src="cal.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Pick a date"></a>
  <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Look Up">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

echo '<pre>'; // <----- ADD
print_r($_POST); // <----- ADD
echo '</pre>'; // <----- ADD	

$start = $_POST['start'];
$end = $_POST['end'];	
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `corps` WHERE `notedate` BETWEEN '$start' AND '$end'";

$results = mysql_query($sql) OR DIE(mysql_error());
$numrow = mysql_num_rows($results) ;
$i = 0;
While ($i < $numrow)
{
$shownotes = mysql_result($results,$i,"notes");
echo $shownotes."<br>";

$i++;
}
}

?>

 

 

Ah, then you should change the format the date picker sends it over in the $_POST array. Change ddmmyyyy to yyyymmdd and that should do it, if it's the same date picker I've used in the past.
