If I'm understanding what you want to do correctly, then you need to alter your MYSQL SELECT command to something like.

$uSql = "SELECT event_update, event_image, event_title, event_description, event_imagelink FROM events WHERE event_date = '$somedate' ORDER by event_date DESC LIMIT 5";

then you need to set $somedate as the date you want to search, but remember to do it in the formation of yyyy/mm/dd and set the field in mysql to a date type.
