"andWhere" clause doesn't work Doctrine2 - php

Question

I want to get some data from database table, where date field is in range between two dates.
Here is my code below:
$date = new \DateTime('today');
$newDate = new \DateTime('today');
$newDate->add(new \DateInterval('P2D'));
$query = $repository->createQueryBuilder('s')
->select('s.day')
->where('s.day > :data')
->andWhere('s.day < :newDate')
->setParameter('data', $date)
->setParameter('newDate', $newDate)
->getQuery();
$dates = $query->getResult();
But unfortunately it doesn't work.
The second method gives empty array, too.
$date = new \DateTime('today');
$newDate = new \DateTime('today');
$newDate->add(new \DateInterval('P2D'));
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$query = $em->createQuery(
'SELECT s.day
FROM AppBundle:Seance s
WHERE s.day BETWEEN :date AND :newDate')
->setParameter('date', $date)
->setParameter('newDate', $newDate);
$seances= $query->getResult();
If I remove andWhere clause or between, doctrine returns data correctyly but all recordse
Does anyone have idea why it doesn't work?

Answer 1

In my application I do what you are asking, using the following:
/* #var $date1 \DateTime */
$date1 = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $this->request()->get("from_date"));
$date1->format('Y-m-d h:i:s');
$date1->setTime(0, 0, 0); // You'll likely not need this bit if times don't matter to you
/* #var $date2 \DateTime */
$date2 = \DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $this->request()->get("to_date"));
$date2->format('Y-m-d h:i:s');
$date2->setTime(23, 59, 59); // You'll likely not need this bit if times don't matter to you
Then in it's repository we do this:
->andWhere("s.date >= :date1 AND s.date < :date2)

Answer 2

You simply needed to pass correct criteria.
$dateFrom = (new \DateTime())->setTime(0, 0, 0);
$dateTo = (new \DateTime())->add(new \DateInterval('P2D'))->setTime(23, 59, 59);
$query = $repository->createQueryBuilder('s')
->where('s.day >= :dateFrom', 's.day <= :dateTo')
->setParameter('dateFrom', $dateFrom)
->setParameter('dateTo', $dateTo)
->getQuery();
$dates = $query->getResult();
