DATE COMPARISON :: Get Older Date Between Two Dates


I was wondering if there is a date function to get the older date between two dates?. Or smething that indicates me that one date is older than the other one.I know that I have the function YEAR,MONTH,DAY and I can use them, but I don't know if exists a function that can do the same.

Date Comparison 2
I want to compare dates in sequential records (in mysql format YYYY-MM-DD) in a db. I have a loop to iterate through a set of records. In this loop, how can I refer to the previous record in the loop?

As in:

for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($row('thisDate') != the previous record's date) {
do something
}

Date Comparison Trouble
Spent the last 30 mins looking for a solution and haven't found one so:
The table looks like:

ID
aDate
Days - days in advance

1 | 2008-03-10 12:00:00 | 7

Im trying to do the following:
SELECT table. *
FROM table
WHERE aDate >= '2008-03-(03+Days) 11:30:00'

Basically so i can feed a date and it uses that date plus whatever is in the days fields, simple i know!

Date Comparison Problem
I have a website with a diary of events. I have just come across this problem:

The diary is listed on the site month by month - you can click a month and events for that month will show up. Events have a from date and to date and can span across multiple months. This has all been working fine until I added an event running from december 06 to january 07 - it no longer showed up. Here is how my query looked:

(using december 2006 as the selected page as an example)



SELECT * FROM diary WHERE (MONTH(from_date) <= MONTH(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01') AND MONTH(to_date) >= MONTH(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01') AND YEAR(from_date) = YEAR(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01')) OR (MONTH(from_date) <= MONTH(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01') AND MONTH(to_date) >= MONTH(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01') AND YEAR(to_date) = YEAR(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01')) ORDER BY from_date, to_date
Now looking back it is obvious that this will not work as it is looking for a match in the years. After some research and trial and error I have come up with the following query:



SELECT * FROM diary WHERE (UNIX_TIMESTAMP(&#55614;&#57158;-12-01') BETWEEN UNIX_TIMESTAMP(from_date) AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(to_date)) ORDER BY from_date, to_date
However this is still not working.

This is really bugging me and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Date Comparison Not Working (dammit!)
My date_added field is a DATETIME
mySQL 4.1.10

I'm trying to get any record that was created over 72 hours ago and has not activated their account.

PHP

SELECT fname,email,uname,passwd FROM customers WHERE date_added >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, INTERVAL 72 HOUR) AND activate = 0

That dog just don't wanna hunt. NULL is returned. The query returned in phpmyadmin is

PHP

SELECT fname, email, uname, passwd
FROM customers
WHERE date_added >= DATE_SUB(
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP , INTERVAL 5 MINUTE )
LIMIT 0 , 30

I never signed up for a limit!

And, while I have your attention I want to do the same, except get any record that has been active for 27 days (got to send an email, because I'm gonna dump their a$$ on day 30!)

Date Format For Table Between Two Dates Given
I am writing a query in mysql which will find appropriate fields in a table between two dates given.

Below is the query I am using

Quote: select row_id from prop_price_period where pid='1' and firstday <='13/09/2008' and lastday >='13/09/2008'.

This query was working fine until yesterday since I was using the MM/DD/YYYY (USA) date format.
Today we required our application to support both the date formats (USA & UK).

So I changed the date format to DD/MM/YYYY.

Now this query is returning wrong result set.

Comparing String Dates To Current Date For Month And Day
Trying to set the display column to a no if the ending date is before or at the current date. Comparing string dates to the current date for month and day only.

Am using CONCAT because the ending date needs to be figured into a date as month_end is in a varchar type and day_end is a tinyint type.

The query does run, but it affects everything where continuous != 'always' - seeming to ignore the AND part.

UPDATE Listings SET display = 'no'
WHERE continuous != 'always'
AND STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(month_end, '-', day_end), '%M-%e')
<= DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(), '%M-%e')

What should be done differently here?

Date :: Select X Number Of Months Ahead Of Current Date
I am trying to query dates stored in my mysql database...
eg:

2005-12-13 (13th Dec 2005)
2006-03-14 (14th Mar 2005)

My SQL query needs to fetch all the records which are X number of months ahead of the current date. eg: I query it saying "get me all records where the date is 1 month from now.... I have used this

(MONTH(date_review)-MONTH(CURDATE()))

which returns 1 - so this is ok - as it's November, and december is one month away.... but when I ask for 3 months - it wont get the records...

I know I somehow need to add the months on - but how do I do this with the year attached too?

Output Multiple Records From Start Date To End Date?
Firstly I'm using MySQL 5 on Win2003.

I have a DB table that has multple columns, but the 2 columns I am interested in are DATE_START and DATE_END. So I'll have many records in the DB and the values in these fields will be anything like:

DATE_START=2006-10-23
DATE_END=2006-10-26

Or if its a 1 day thing it will be sumin like:

DATE_START=2006-10-23
DATE_END=2006-10-23

Is there anyway I can output multiple records from the DB for that one record between those dates? For example, the first record above would output:

TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-23
TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-24
TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-25
TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-26

So basically I get a loop of all dates between the start and end date?

Before anyone asks, no I can't loop through this in the code! I have a calendar, and all the dates are created and I just need to populate these dates with the records... and I won't go into detail, but without querying every day, this is the best way by far to do it... just need to know if it can be done?

Latest Date Entry + Future Date
My requirement is data to be added to database depending on dates. Like If the user wants to add data for the next 10 days,the data should be added with a corresponding column containing the next 10 days' dates.

Then if he logs in tomorrow and wishes to add data for another 100 days,it should find the last date added and then add data with the next 100 dates starting from that date.

Also I would want to display these dates to the user.So can you suggest which type to be used for database field and also the date functions(mysql as well as php) to be achieved.

Let me put it more clearly.

"select the last date(which might be future dates) entered in the database";

If the date is Oct10 and the user wants to add entries for Oct 11,12 13

"insert into table values('data','oct11')"
......
......
likewise for Oct12 and 13

The format I need is just year,month and day.No time is required.

year_ends (date) ex: 1918-02-10
