PHP - Reverse Date From Mysql

I want to have a feature on a website I'm building where the user can select rows from a MySQL table based on it's age.  For example they could select a piece of content between 30-60 days old.  I'm going to do this using the following sequel

"WHERE article_date BETWEEN 2010-12-01 AND 2010-11-01"

However I'm not sure how to make this work.  If the date is 2010-12-12 what is the easiest way to subtract 30 days from this date?  Thanks for any help. 

Hello dear members, first of all sorry for my grammer i'm from Switzerland  . So now: I have a problem with php. I want to put out the date of a blogpost in this format dd:mm:yyyy instead of yyyy:mm:dd. I tried it a long time and used many different ways like: date, dateformat, strto etc. but at the and nothing worked for me. So here is a picture of the blogpost and i'll add the file with my compressd php code.   I'd be glad if you could help me Regards Mr_Ironic

i need a javascript date picker that will put a date in a text flied in the format of Y-m-d so that it can be posted to mysql also i need some kind of php to validite this

guys, im having a problem here thats making me crazy

im making a system and i want to insert the current date in the mysql. I have the field called 'data' in the DB, but when i make the code to insert all the other fields, including the 'data', its work perfectly... unless that damn date!

$query = "INSERT INTO news (id, titulo, mensagem, data) VALUES (NULL, '$titulo', '$mensagem', 'date(\"d/m/Y\")')";

whats wrong with that?
its stores in DB as '0000-00-00'.
 

What is difference between php date(); and mysql NOW() and what should be used in script?

In php date I have 13:00h, and from MySql have 17:00h. Current date on my comp is 19:00h.

So time difference in php is +6 hours, and in mysql is +2 hours. How to synchronize this dates for users???

im trying to crete a page that will search mysql for entrys from ??? days previous.

ive not started on the php yet as i wanted to get the query done but im having a slight problem.

date is in dd/mm/yyyy format. if i run this query
SELECT * FROM `dsgi_serval` WHERE date >= '10/09/2010' 

it ONLY sorts by DD and not MM or YYYY, so anything greater than the 10th of the month shows regardless of what month.

when i get to the php ill either do a drop down box with a preset number or days or a text box where u enter the number of days or even a txt box u enter the actual day u want to search from. im undecided which would be best.

another problem i face with the php is how to tell the script to search from ? ?? when it says search from the past 3 days?


<?php

$date = date("d/m/y");    // todays date 04/12/2010
$_post= 3 days;           // search from 01/12/2010
$date - $_post = $search; // 01/12/2010;
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name" where date >= '$search';

echo the results


?>



i no the above is not proper php but i hope it saya what im trying to do.

Thanks

I'm having trouble inserting a formatted PHP DateTime into a MySQL table.

I'm getting:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ',2012-01-31)' at line 4

I get the error when I try to insert the date as a string from a DateTime object via:
$insertDate = $date->format('Y-m-d');

As well as when I try to recast it as a date object:
$insertDate = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($date->format('Y-m-d')));

I've also tried putting the date in ' ' 's and escaped " " 's.


My insert query is:
$insert = "INSERT INTO pendingordersdetails (PartNumber,Oqty,Pqty,Aqty,PartStatus,
PartPrice,idOrderNo,PrtTariffCode,PrtLocation,LineNum,PKqty,SPqty,AllocationDate)
VALUES ('$partNum',$oQty,0,$aQty,'Excess',$price,$orderNum,'$tariffCode',
'$location',$lineNum,$PKqty,$SPqty,'$allocDate');";

and the echoed output is:
INSERT INTO pendingordersdetails (PartNumber,Oqty,Pqty,Aqty,PartStatus, PartPrice,idOrderNo,PrtTariffCode,PrtLocation,LineNum,PKqty,SPqty,AllocationDate) VALUES ('0446535240 ',3,0,1,'Excess',163.89,66,' ', 'A0406E01',2,,,'2012-01-31');

Anyone have any ideas?

How would I put today date for instance into mysql_query? I just want the date and have the format be year, month, day. The format in the database looks like 2010-04-05. That being used as an example. And I have three drop down menus, which you can select the year, month, and day, but it doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong?

I used to code a long time ago - PHP5.

It is slowly coming back to me but not fast enough...

I need to copy data from a mysql data base and put it back in unchanged with another date reference.

This is a calorie recorder that tracks daily calories - food type, calories, protein, carbs, etc.

I simply want to take each entry in that day, then copy it exactly except changing the date recerence.

If I could say "copy all entires where date = (date) into DB  with new date (date), that would do it.

The only thing I can think to do is pull each item out  and place it back into the DB with a while statement.

There has to be an easier way...

If that is my only option, I need to figure out how to create a while statement to handle an array to do the job.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help!!

So I'm trying to put a user selected date into a mysql query, but it seems like no matter what I do I get 0 results even though I already know there's quite a few. The way I have it now 'echo $query;' puts out the expected results, but I'm guessing it's because I'm trying to match a date to a string.  I tried strtotime but I'm not sure if I was doing it right.. I also tried sprintf() just in case, but that doesn't seem to have a date feature.  The variable $realdate is just to show how I was attempting to use strtotime, it's not an actualy part of the script at this time...



$searchdate = $_GET['searchdate'];
//$realdate = strtotime($searchdate)


//connects to db
dbconnect();


$query="SELECT `name`, `date`, SUM(`amount`) as `total_money`, SUM(`bricks`) as `total_bricks` FROM Aces_Donations WHERE `date`= $searchdate ORDER BY `total_money`";

echo $query;

$result=mysql_query($query); 

//Opens the table
echo "<table border = '3' width = 40% bgcolor=#A85045><caption><center>Rankings - ".$searchdate.'</center></caption>';

//Loop to run until eof

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

echo "<tr><td>".$rank."</td> <td>".$row['name']. "</td><td>". $row['total_money']."</td><td>".$row['total_bricks'].'</td></tr>';
$rank++;

}
echo '</table>';

Hi all

I am trying to write a script that takes the filename and username from a form and adds it into a mySQL database. At the moment only the username is added? Here's my code:

<?php
include('includes/connection.php');

$username = $_POST['username'];

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); // Change time zone to GMT
$date = date ('D M j G:i:s'); // Set date format

$path= "/home/cndvizp/public_html/prints2impress.co.uk/images/uploads/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'];


if($ufile !=none)
{
if(copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'], $path))
{

//insert new query

$filename = $_FILES['ufile']['name'];

$pfw_strQuery = "INSERT INTO `uploads`(`username`,`url`,`date_entered`)VALUES (\"$username\",\"$filename\",\"$date\")" ;

$pfw_result = mysql_query($pfw_strQuery);
if (!$pfw_result) {
 die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

//include ('payment.php');
echo 'done';
}

else

{
//include ('error.php');
echo 'error!';
exit;
}
}

?>

Can anyone help me get the filename and the date to be added?

Cheers
Pete.
