WOW... I have never even heard of BETWEEN before. How does this
look to you?
SELECT StartDate, StopDate, LocationID FROM phpCalendar_Daily WHERE
CURDATE() BETWEEN StopDate AND StopDate
Would the query work like this? This would mean I don't even have
to care about the difference of 2 or 3 days?

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Date Range Question...
I am working on an app that needs to post information to a website
based on date. The tricky part for me is that the date is a range that
spans either 2 or 3 days. I want the web page to dynamically populate
this
information based on a query. The query will look something like this:
mysql(Calendar2,SELECT StartDate, StopDate, LocationID FROM
phpCalendar_Daily WHERE StartDate=CURDATE() )
My question is say for example the StartDate is actually Jan. 1.
The page is accessed on Jan. 2 or Jan. 3... The StartDate for the next
entry is Jan. 4. How do I write this query to select the proper entry?
In
doing some research, it appears that a MySQL SELECT CASE might do the
trick, but I have never used this before. The other option I can envision
is using PHP to handle the login and simply running the query, testing the
result, if NULL, run the query again with CURDATE(-1).
Any hints, ideas, or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks
in advance.
If I understand you correctly, I think you could use something like this:
SELECT StartDate, StopDate, LocationID FROM phpCalendar_Daily WHERE
StartDate BETWEEN CURDATE() AND CURDATE() - INTERVAL $x DAY
Where $x is 2 or 3, depending on your case.
