Need syntax help when it comes to using a timestamp. What I'm trying to say in my query WHERE clause is to select records if the timestamp on the record is in the past 7 days from NOW() $query .= " WHERE stamp < NOW()-7 "; I have no clue here on this .... the lay language is WHERE stamp is within the past 7 days.... how to php that? lol Thanks Terion Happy Freecycling Free the List !! www.freecycle.org Over Moderation of Freecycle List Prevents Post Timeliness. ------------------------------------------------ Twitter? http://twitter.com/terionmiller ------------------------------------------------ Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Terion-Miller/1542024891" title="Terion Miller's Facebook profile" target=_TOP><img src=" http://badge.facebook.com/badge/1542024891.237.919247960.png" border=0 alt="Terion Miller's Facebook profile"></a> Vince Lombardi - "Winning is habit.
