Hi I have following tables:

alltables01.jpg

 

And following is my PHP code (mysearch.php) which will search and list the relevant results in the same page.

For example lets say in the search criteria when someone enters particuar date like 05/05/2013, I want all the results of that month i.e May 2013 (anything from 01/05/2013 - 31/05/2013) to be listed; Can this be done.

Or I have to create another field in the database with MM-YY only and search that field.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

You can use the BETWEEN operator but you will still need to do some date manipulation.  Something like:

 

<?php
$input_date = '2013-05-10';  # just a random date to test with
$time = strtotime($input_date);
$first_day_of_month = date('Y-m-01', $time);
$last_day_of_month = date('Y-m-t', $time);

$query = "SELECT `actitle` FROM `activities` WHERE `acdate` BETWEEN '$first_day_of_month' AND '$last_day_of_month'";

?>

 

Hopefully that makes sense to you.
