Select records from today, this week, this month php mysql

Question

I imagine this is pretty simple, but can\'t figure it out. I\'m trying to make a few pages - one which will contain results selected from my mysql db\'s table for today, thi

Answer 1

A better solution for "today" is:

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE DATE(date) = DATE(NOW())

Answer 2

Assuming your date column is an actual MySQL date column:

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE date > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) ORDER BY score DESC;        
SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE date > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 WEEK) ORDER BY score DESC;
SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE date > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH) ORDER BY score DESC;

Answer 3

Well, this solution will help you select only current month, current week and only today

SELECT * FROM games WHERE games.published_gm = 1 AND YEAR(addedon_gm) = YEAR(NOW()) AND MONTH(addedon_gm) = MONTH(NOW()) AND DAY(addedon_gm) = DAY(NOW()) ORDER BY addedon_gm DESC;

For Weekly added posts:

WEEKOFYEAR(addedon_gm) = WEEKOFYEAR(NOW())

For Monthly added posts:

MONTH(addedon_gm) = MONTH(NOW())

For Yearly added posts:

YEAR(addedon_gm) = YEAR(NOW())

you'll get the accurate results where show only the games added today, otherwise you may display: "No New Games Found For Today". Using ShowIF recordset is empty transaction.

Answer 4

Current month:

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE YEAR(date) = YEAR(NOW()) AND MONTH(date)=MONTH(NOW());

Current week:

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE WEEKOFYEAR(date) = WEEKOFYEAR(NOW());

Current day:

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE YEAR(date) = YEAR(NOW()) AND MONTH(date) = MONTH(NOW()) AND DAY(date) = DAY(NOW());

This will select only current month, really week and really only today :-)

Answer 5

Nathan's answer will give you jokes from last 24, 168, and 744 hours, NOT the jokes from today, this week, this month. If that's what you want, great, but I think you might be looking for something different.

Using his code, at noon, you will get the jokes beginning yesterday at noon, and ending today at noon. If you really want today's jokes, try the following:

SELECT * FROM jokes WHERE date >= CURRENT_DATE() ORDER BY score DESC;  

You would have to do something a little different from current week, month, etc., but you get the idea.
