I have stored Date in database in dd-mm-yy format, for example 03-10-2013,
How to search record by month? Month in digit (01 to 12);
I am using currently
$query = "SELECT * FROM data WHERE date LIKE %$month%";
but this not working properly.
Fix the date format in your database structure first, change it to: yyyy-mm-dd
Then change your query statement to:
$query = "SELECT * FROM data WHERE MONTH(`date`) = '$month';
This will select the month as '5' or '11' or '12' which will give duplicates for differing years.
If you need the month with year (to avoid duplicate years):
$query = "SELECT * FROM data WHERE SUBSTR(DATE(`date`),1,7) = SUBSTR(DATE('$month'),1,7);
This will return: '2015-01' or '2014-12'
To get date as '01' or '04' or '12':
$query = "SELECT * FROM data WHERE SUBSTR(DATE(`date`),6,2) = SUBSTR(DATE('$month'),6,2);
Try this...
You could use MySQL MONTH() function
MySQL MONTH() returns the MONTH for the date within a range of 1 to 12 ( January to December). It Returns 0 when MONTH part for the date is 0
4 is april
SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE MONTH( date ) ='4'
You can do like it... as it is not in date format(YYYY-MM-DD)
$q="SELECT * FROM data WHERE MONTH(DATE_FORMAT(STR_TO_DATE(date, '%d-%m-%Y'), '%Y-%m-%d') ) = '$YOUR_SEARCH_MONTH' ";
I am assuming when you say dates as stored in the database in a format, that they are not stored using a "date" type and instead are using a varchar or char type for the column.
Based on that there are few ways to do this.
SELECT * FROM data WHERE Month(STR_TO_DATE(datestrcolumn, '%d/%m/%Y')) = 5;
SELECT * FROM data WHERE Month(realdatecolumn) = 5;
UPDATE data set monthcolumn = Month(realdatetimecolumn)
then
SELECT * FROM data WHERE monthcolumn = 5;
Create an index on monthcolumn and this query will be much faster than the other queries if there is a lot of data
