Symfony: DQL select between date - php

Question

I'm trying to select from my SQLite table all the rows in selected months and sum the value in "total" column.
Here is my example table:
| ID | DATE | TOTAL |
| 1 | 22-11-2017 | 700 |
| 2 | 26-11-2017 | 100 |
| 3 | 28-11-2017 | 150 |
| 4 | 30-11-2017 | 50 |
Here is the dql function
public function getDataByMonth($repo, $year, $month)
{
date = new \DateTime("{$year}-{$month}-01 00:00");
$dateEnd = new \DateTime("{$year}-{$month}-31 23:59");
$query = $qb->where('b.date BETWEEN :start AND :end')
->setParameter('start', $date->format('d-m-Y H:i'))
->setParameter('end', $dateEnd->format('d-m-Y H:i'))
->select('SUM(b.total) as totals');
}
Even if the query goes, when I set $monthvariable to October (so 10) the query return 1000instead of NULL.
I'm calling the function using
$earnings = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->getRepository(Invoices::class);
$this->getDataByMonth($earnings,date("Y"), strftime("%m", strtotime("-1 months")));
What I'm doing wrong?
I need to select the right rows relating to the selected month.

Answer 1

maybe you should try sth like this, had similar problem and it worked:
->add('where', $qb->expr()->between(
'e.datetimefield',
':from',
':to'
))
it's database software independent, should work with most databases, more info in doctrine documentation:
http://docs.doctrine-project.org/en/latest/reference/query-builder.html#the-expr-class
and also don't format datetime object, ex:
$from = new \DateTime();
->setParameter('from', $from);

SQLite does not have a storage class set aside for storing dates
and/or times. Instead, the built-in Date And Time Functions of SQLite
are capable of storing dates and times as TEXT, REAL, or INTEGER
values
--https://sqlite.org/datatype3.html
So I don't think you can use BETWEEN.
I had similar issue with SQLite I ended up using timestamp

Symfony 3 ?
$date = new \DateTime("{$year}-{$month}-01 00:00");
$dateEnd = new \DateTime("{$year}-{$month}-31 23:59");
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$query = $em->createQuery("SELECT SUM(p.total) FROM AppBundle:Invoices p WHERE p.date >= :dateFirstDay and p.date <= :dateLastDay")
->setParameter('dateFirstDay',$date->format('d-m-Y H:i'))
->setParameter('dateLastDay',$dateEnd->format('d-m-Y H:i'));
