Hi all.
Really need some help with this! I have an events database where event details are stored. The date is stored in teh format yyyy/mm/dd. I have a script that reads all events from the database and echos them out onto a new sheet. Thing is I need it only to display 2 weeks worth of event... meaning showing all events taht take ;place within the next 2 weeks from the curretn date. The current script i ahve is:

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect();
$counter =0;
mysql_select_db("");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events ORDER BY eventdate");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{$counter=$counter+1;}
if ($counter>0){
echo"<p> The following event take place within the next 2 weeks:</p><table>";
echo "<tr><td colspan='4'><hr></hr></td></tr>";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM events ORDER BY Eventdate");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr><td><em>Name: </em> $row[name]</td>";
echo "<td><em>Date (yyyy-mm-dd): </em> $row[eventdate]</td>";
echo "<td><em>Tickets: </em> $row[maxtickets]</td>";
echo "<td><em>Price: </em> $row[price]</td>";
echo "</tr><tr><td colspan='1'><em>Tickets remaining: </em> $row[remintickets]</td>";
echo "<td colspan='3'><em>Description: </em> $row[description]</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td colspan='4'><hr></hr></td></tr>";
$counter=$counter+1;
}

This works but just need some help to load only 2 weeks worth of stuff. PLEASE HELP!

Here is some info regarding using mysql's date functions. With a little tweaking it will accomplish what you need.
