help me revise my code. this is my sql code:
SELECT lt.loan_amount, lt.rel_date, lt.due_date,
DATEDIFF( lt.rel_date, lt.due_date ) AS span,
(((DATEDIFF( lt.due_date, lt.rel_date )) + curdate()) * 0.02) AS penalty
FROM loan_transaction lt, members m
WHERE lt.MID = m.MID
but the output is a mess. I just wanted to mean with this that when the due_date is over, the 0.02 penalty will apply.
(((DATEDIFF( lt.due_date, lt.rel_date )) + curdate()) * 0.02) AS penalty..
how will i show this in php mysql? I new to this. i'm actually struggling with this. Pls help. Thank you
I am not sure how exactly you like to put penalty, like on daily basis or one time, but you can use IF
SELECT lt.loan_amount, lt.rel_date, lt.due_date,
DATEDIFF( lt.rel_date, lt.due_date ) AS span,
IF(DATEDIFF(lt.due_date, lt.rel_date) > 0, 0.02, 0) AS penalty
FROM loan_transaction lt, members m
WHERE lt.MID = m.MID
This is considering you are trying to compare due_date with rel_date for considering penalty. This will return penalty as 0.02 if due_date is greater than rel_date.
If you want to compare it with today's date, you can use
IF(DATEDIFF(CURDATE(), lt.due_date) > 0, 0.02, 0) AS penalty
This will return penalty as 0.02 if today's date is greater than due_date.
Edit: To apply penalty of 0.02 for each day after due_date, you should use following:
IF(DATEDIFF(CURDATE(), lt.due_date) > 0, DATEDIFF(CURDATE(), lt.due_date)*0.02, 0) AS penalty
