Can someone tell me what I did wrong here

$query = "select * from test WHERE end_date = 'date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+ 5 days'))'";

[GingerRobot]

You've tried to use the php date() function in your string. You cannot do that. You must concatenate(join) the returned value of the function with the rest of the string:

 

<?php
$query = "select * from test WHERE end_date = '".date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+ 5 days'))."'";
?>

 

Alternatively, see the the mysql date and time functions

The function will not be run that way, try

<?php
$query = "select * from test WHERE end_date = '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+ 5 days')) . "'";
?>

That pulled every record out

[uniflare]

your query is definetely the problem, could you give some examples of the date format in your mysql tables?

[affordit]

The field is set to DATE and the format is 0000-00-00

Try that... you may want to put Error report ALL on ... just to get a bigger answer of errors.

[affordit]

The problem is with this line somewhere

$query = "select * from test WHERE end_date = '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+ 5 days')) . "'";

[uniflare]

your query is not returning any MATCHES or RESULTS, there are no entries where end_date = 2008-02-23,

 

the code is fine, your query will return rows where the DATE/end_date field equals 5 days in the future... is this what your trying to do?

 

 

try this and copy and paste the result from the browser source exactly.

 

<?php
include("sharons_dbinfo.inc.php");
mysql_connect(mysql,$name,$password) or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); 

//
// CHANGE QUERY TO GRAB THE ID
//
$query = "select `end_date` from test LIMIT 50";
$result=mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
$num=mysql_numrows($result); 

print_r(mysql_fetch_array($result)); exit();

mysql_close();

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$company=mysql_result($result,$i,"company");
$name=mysql_result($result,$i,"name");
$address=mysql_result($result,$i,"address");
$city=mysql_result($result,$i,"city");
$state=mysql_result($result,$i,"state");
$zip=mysql_result($result,$i,"zip");
$phone=mysql_result($result,$i,"phone");
$acct_num=mysql_result($result,$i,"acct_num");
$email=mysql_result($result,$i,"email");
$start_date=mysql_result($result,$i,"start_date");
$end_date=mysql_result($result,$i,"end_date");
