Hi All,

I want to display all members who have their birthday the coming week.
I tried some code but it doesn't return any records. Probably because
it looks for the date of birth
instead of just the month and day:

$today = date("d-m-Y");
$birthday = $row['birthday'];

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM myMembers WHERE birthday BETWEEN
$today AND $today+7");

Can anyone help me out here?

Marco

This is a MySQL question, not a PHP one (hint: PHP knows NOTHING about SQL).

I would suggest you ask in comp.databases.mysql.

So fix your query so it looks for what you want it to look for. And post in
the proper newsgroup -- this is NOT a PHP issue.

I'd love to help you out -- which way did you come in?
