Sorry, I'll try to explain better. I want to develop a php/mysql
based agenda of city activities, and these are stored in a table with
id,type,title,description and from_date and to_date fields. A pseudo
query which would retrieve what I need would be:
select * from city_agenda where from_date<='next_sunday' and
to_date>='next_saturday';
But I do not see how to get 'nex_saturday' and 'next_sunday' using
mySQL date functions. With PHP is easy to find out these dates and
pass them to the select, but I wonder if is there a pure SQL version
of this.
Anyone?
TIA
