Select current months records mysql from timestamp column

Question

I have a mysql DB that has a TIMESTAMP field titled date. How can I select all fields where the month is the current month?

Thanks in advance!

If you want indexes to be used, don't apply any function to the column:

SELECT * 
FROM tableX
WHERE `date` >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP((LAST_DAY(NOW())+INTERVAL 1 DAY)-INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
  AND `date` <  UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LAST_DAY(NOW())+INTERVAL 1 DAY) ;

The functions used can be found in MySQL docs: Date and Time functions
