Hi All,

I would like to retrieve people's birthday from the database.
But only those who celebrate the coming week.

SELECT * FROM members WHERE birthday BETWEEN $today AND $today+7


The birthday field holds also the year but I just need day and month.
Is there a way to do this?

Marco

Like I told you yesterday - this is not a PHP question. Try an
appropriate newsgroup, such as comp.databases.mysql.

Ask in the right place and you'll get a good answer.

The best help for forming the query is indeed in the mysql newsgroup.
Insofar as incorporating the query into your PHP code,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php may be helpful. The related
pages have many query examples that may be useful to you.

Yes, there is.

When will you figure out that PHP groups are not appropriate places to ask SQL
questions?

It doesn't matter how many times you ask this question, it will still
remain a MySQL question and not a php one.

One general hint is that if you want to invent your own syntax, you
will need to build your own programming language. If you wish to use
the MySQL programming language then you must stick to the syntax as
published in its manual.

I get the point guys.
I just thought there might be a PHP solution instead of editing the
query.
