Barand Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 More to the point, what format is arrivaldate? If it's DATE type, you can use $query = "Select * from booking where arrivaldate=CURDATE()"; ElseIf it's DATETIME, you can use $query = "Select * from booking where DATE(arrivaldate)=CURDATE()"; Else Better tell us.

uniboy86 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 A bit late I solved the problems I forgot which forum i posted on but I used the curdate() function as my dates are in the date format in my mysql database.
