count where different is more than 2 days - php

Question

Hi i have this code that I would like to get the total of log that is closed.
(A) More than 2 days.
(B) Less than 2 days.
for($m=1; $m<=12; ++$m) {
$next_year = $cur_year + 1;
$monthName=date('M', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1)).'';
$monthNumber = date('m', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1));
$monthName = date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1));
$currentMonthText = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1));
$nextMonthText = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m + 1, 1));
$result= $DB->query("SELECT * FROM ".$DB->prefix("calldesk_log")."
WHERE MONTH(date_open)='$monthNumber' AND date_open >= '$currentMonthText'
AND date_open < '$nextMonthText' AND status='Closed'") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = $DB->fetchArray($result))
{
$id_report=$row['id_report)'];
$date_open=$row['date_open'];
$date_close=$row['date_close'];
$diff = abs(strtotime($date_open) - strtotime($date_close));
$min = floor($diff / (60*60*24));
}
}
Any help will be appreciated.

If its only a matter of days differences, let MYSQL do the job using DATE_ADD() Function, you will thus avoid classical date mistakes which are obvious in your actual code (leap years, year change, etc...)
Here are some examples depending on what you want to do , which is unclear...
Logs that are between 2 days in the past and 2 days in the future (if that's possible but this what you do in your code)
SELECT *
FROM ".$DB->prefix("calldesk_log")."
WHERE date_open BETWEEN DATE_ADD(curdate(), INTERVAL -2 DAY)
AND DATE_ADD(curdate(), INTERVAL 2 DAY)
AND status='Closed'
Logs that are between current date and 2 days in the future
SELECT *
FROM ".$DB->prefix("calldesk_log")."
WHERE date_open BETWEEN curdate()
AND DATE_ADD(curdate(), INTERVAL 2 DAY)
AND status='Closed'
Logs that are between 2 days in the past and current date
SELECT *
FROM ".$DB->prefix("calldesk_log")."
WHERE date_open BETWEEN DATE_ADD(curdate(), INTERVAL -2 DAY)
AND curdate()
AND status='Closed'
If you want to count months instead of days, just change the INTERVAL:
DATE_ADD(curdate(), INTERVAL -2 MONTH)
If you want to take the time into account, use NOW() instead of curdate():
DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL -2 DAY)
That's it, you can do all this in pure SQL and let MySQL do the job for you.
