Thanks for that - but I just sorted it literally 10 seconds ago! I used:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $tabitem WHERE DATE_ADD(submitDate, INTERVAL 8 DAY) > CURDATE()";
Something happens with using INTERVAL 7 DAY though, in that only 6 days worth of posts
are
displayed, so 8 will have to suffice!
Thanks very much!
