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

This is more efficient and understandable IN BETWEEN query in cakephp 2.x

$testing_log_device_site_name = $testingLogData['TestingLogDevice']['Siteid'];

$conditions = array('TestingLogDevice.dateee BETWEEN ? and ?' => array($start_date, $end_date));

$results = $this->TestingLogDevice->find('all', 
    array(
         'fields'=>array('dateee','timeee','Siteid'), 
         'conditions'=>array($conditions, 'TestingLogDevice.Siteid'=>$testing_log_device_site_name)
    )
);
pr($results);
