[PHP-DB] mysql date select statement

[Wendell Frohwein]

Hello all, I have this page where I search and add up commissions in a
mysql database. I want to select commissions between a certain date
range.
This is what im currently using but it does not seem to work.
 
 
$from="20030101";
$to="20031230";
 
$search=mysql_query("SELECT SUM(amount) FROM commissions WHERE date
BETWEEN '$from' AND '$to'");
 
 
 
Thanks in advance for any help
