$days = 7; $now = date(Y-m-d); $timestamp = /*your defined stamp */; $query = "SELECT * from TABLE WHERE DATEDIFF('$timestamp', '$now')<=7"; I think that is the query you want? Unless I'm misreading the manual - which is entirely possible. Conversely you can just use DATEDIFF('$timestamp', DATE())<=7 as well. The only thing you need to make sre is that your $timestamp is in YYYY-MM-DD format.
