I have a varchar
field contain a timestamp
value, i want to get the tomorrow records.
This is my code as you can see:
$tomorrow = strtotime("1+ day");
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date > $tomorrow
but the query is incorrect
thanks for the help in advance
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date > NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY
Should be like this :
$tomorrow = strtotime("+1 day");
/* this will select all record before tomorrow*/
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date < $tomorrow;
/* this will select all record after tomorrow*/
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date > $tomorrow;
You should be able to do this all in the MySQL query
SELECT *
FROM `tasks`
WHERE DATE(`task_accomplish_date`) = DATE(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY)
That converts your task_accomplish_date
into a date value and looks for records where that date is equal to today + 1 day (tomorrow). That does not give you records from 2 days from today or beyond, just tomorrow. If you want tomorrow and all records beyond tomorrow you would use
SELECT *
FROM `tasks`
WHERE DATE(`task_accomplish_date`) >= DATE(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY)
If you are storing a timestamp, these only care about the date part of the timestamp, not about the time part of the timestamp. If you care about the time part as well you can remove DATE()
from both sides of the =
in the WHERE
clause
