Re: PHP querying mysql db for data limited to the last month

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



1.  To get last months date, you can use strtotime("1 month ago")
instead of mktime.
2.  I don't see anywhere in the code where you are limiting by date. 
Try using > and <.  Between is tricky on dates.
