CakePHP find condition for a query between two dates

Question

I have a start and an end date in my database and a $date variable from a form field. I am now trying to query all the rows where $date is either = start/end date in the db,

Answer 1

Here is CakePHP BETWEEN query example.

I'm defining my arrays as variables, and then using those variables in my CakePHP find function call:

// just return these two fields
$fields = array('uri', 'page_views');

// use this "between" range
$conditions = array('Event.date BETWEEN ? and ?' => array($start_date, $end_date));

// run the "select between" query
$results = $this->Event->find('all', 
         array('fields'=>$fields, 
               'conditions'=>$conditions));
