Is the the EXACT code you used? If it is, I can see why it failed. You're
trying to assign the text to "sql" not "$sql".
sql="SELECT * FROM poeple WHERE age $Date_operator 20";
If, in fact, you are assigning to $sql, then print out $sql to ensure it
contains what you expect it to contain.

=I can see no reason why not - you're not actually putting the 'variable' in the
'query', just using a PHP-variable to
build a PHP-string which will be sent to MySQL as a SQL query...
