I have to say that its sort of funny that you surrounded your cf tags
with [php] but i suppose you probably cross posted this to a forum.
Either way, try something like this :
<cfif FORM.year IS NOT "">
AND YEAR(n.due_datetime) = '#FORM.year#'
</cfif>
<cfif FORM.month IS NOT "">
AND MONTH(n.due_datetime) = '#FORM.month#'
</cfif>
<cfif FORM.day IS NOT "">
AND DAY(n.due_datetime) = '#FORM.year#'
</cfif>
This is not tested, and i cant ever remember the differences in the
database types, but you should have some sort of date type functions
that will pull out the specific year month or day from a date and
compare it. It will slow things down, but not any slower than doing a
LIKE. If it doesnt work, you might need to make sure you are storing
it in the db as a timestamp, not a string.
