Query with dates

Post by kerepuki »

Hey guys,

I have been trying to figure out how to return a set of results based on 2 dates which are store in my table.

I have a start_date and an end_date.

I want to grab all records which have a start_date less than now and an end_date greater than now. If end_date is less than now I want to exclude the records from the result set
I have already taken the required procedures to ensure the end_date cannot be less than start_date.

Thanks in advance

Code: Select all

SELECT
  *
FROM
  `table`
WHERE
  `start_date` < NOW()
AND
  `end_date` > NOW()
