if(date("H")<7)) { $var1 = 1; $var2 = 0; } else { $var1 = 0; $var2 = 1; } Then use this query: SELECT dtg FROM techs WHERE tech='$user' AND (TO_DAYS(dtg) = TO_DAYS(CURRENT_DATE) - $var1 DAY AND HOUR(dtg) > 7) AND (TO_DAYS(dtg) = TO_DAYS(CURRENT_DATE) + $var2 DAY AND HOUR(dtg) < 7) I _think_ that works, but don't have a table to test it on. Let me know if it does. If it's before 7 am, it'll get all records between 7 am yesterday and 7 am today. If it's after 7 am, it'll get all records between 7 am today and 7 am tomorrow. ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Thoenen, Peter Mr. EPS > [mailto:Peter.Thoenen@bondsteel2.areur.army.mil] > Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:34 AM > To: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: easier way to do this?
