Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
Thanks alot... right now I cannot really work on it but I am going to setup a test table to work with so I make sure I get the correct results on the test before I impliment it on our main tables. Thanks again, all of you guys on this newsgroup have been a great help to a newbie like myself. =) Jason Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

I am trying out a couple of things on a test date field so I will get back with you guys after I try your suggestions. And by the way I sincerely appriciate all the help you and Rick are giving me. Thanks again, In that case your original: date like '%$date%' should work as long as $date is formatted the same as what is stored in the db. Really, you should convert your date field into DATE or DATETIME then you can use all the nifty date/time functions that MySQL provides! regards -- Jason Wong Gremlins Associates www.gremlins.com.hk -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
Here is my problem once again... =P I am wondering if I should change the
date table to something other than date... maybe something like date_1?
Would doing that resolve my issue, because of the fact that the date
variable in php is function? Thanks in advance...

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
Hi Jason, What is the error message, in what line? I really can't find any error... Just one standarlization point: why do you use ( ) when printing BR and not in every other printing. For me, it's easyer to debug if every thing that do the same thing is writen the same way. Other thing out of the point. You could write all the line in one print command: print bTotal:/b $row['total']br; or print bTotal:/b . $row[total] .br; or (my favorite) ? bTotal/b ? print $row[total]; ?br; ?

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
What I use to do is to print the sql and try it in the command line to know
it I'm constructing it correctly.
$sql = select foo from bar...;
print $sqlbr\n; ## add this line
execute your script and copy the line to the mysql command line. If the
result is what you expect it should be working.
{Hope this helps} else {tell us}.

I apologize... there really isn't any error messages.. it just shows that
there are no results to be displayed but when i telnet into the db there
are
plenty of dates that met my search criteria. I just need to know why it
wont
display the results... and I am thinking that because in php the date
function is the same thing i am using for a variable... not sure if that
is
the problem but i am open to suggestions on it. Thanks again.

First, I agree with Bruno concerning putting print all on one line, as you and I discussed previously Jason. Second, keep using DATE data type in mySQL. Simply specify to the user how the date is to be entered on the form. DATE is maintained in mySQL as -MM-DD.

Hi again Jason, I think Jason Wong got the problem I missed, it's the date format. If you tested like I sad in the last mail you already found it.

RE: [PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
Jason,
date(H) converts to a 24-hour clock. That is, 00 is 12 mid-night, 01 is 1
AM, 13 is 1 PM, 14 is 2 PM, 23 is 11 PM, etc.
I do not understand the reasons for your computation that, say 00, is 10 PM.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
Rick,
This portion of the site was done by a previous employee and well you
know the expression.. If its not broke don't fix it. Well now that I
cannot query the db by the date it is now broke and I am still figuring out
how MySQL is taking entries to the db so I figured this bit of information
would maybe sum up the problem in the date field. I have been reading up on
the date function in the MySQL book I have but somethings it just doesn't
cover. So please excuse my being vague. Thanks,

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP query on date field
Just to clear some things up... so instead of the long winded bit of code
that was previously setup to change the format of the date for the date
field in the db, I should use the 2 lines of code? Definately skeptical on
this one... but you know more about this than I.

Assuming you correct the hours calculation per my previous email, then:
$format = ($Hou12?) PM : AM ;
$Hou -= ($Hou12?) 12 : 0;
And you can do away with all the constructs.

Jason,
date(H) converts to a 24-hour clock. That is, 00 is 12 mid-night, 01 is
1
AM, 13 is 1 PM, 14 is 2 PM, 23 is 11 PM, etc.
I do not understand the reasons for your computation that, say 00, is 10
PM.

Isn't date a reserved word that should not be used as a field name? It
appeared that what was asked was if he should change the name of his
field
from date to date_1. It should definitely be changed if it is now
called
date.

What is the format of date as defined in your database? If date is of
type DATE or DATETIME then
$result = mysql_query (SELECT * FROM ads
WHERE fname LIKE '%$fname%' AND lname LIKE
'%$lname%' AND phonea LIKE '%$phonea%' AND phone LIKE '%$phone%' AND
date LIKE '%$date%');
should be changed to:
$result = mysql_query (SELECT * FROM ads
WHERE fname LIKE '%$fname%'

AND phone LIKE '%$phone%'
AND date = '$date'
