Count current month from Database - php

Question

i would like to count the date from the database where the month is now.
my code goes like
$sql="SELECT count(date) FROM tbl_upcoming where
date=MONTH(NOW())";
if ($results=mysqli_query($conn,$sql)){
$datecount=mysqli_num_rows($results);
}
for example: '2017-3-20', '2017-3-4', '2017-1-3', it will return 2.

Answer 1

Try something like this:
SELECT date, count(1) FROM tbl_upcoming where
MONTH(date)=MONTH(NOW()) and YEAR(date) = YEAR(NOW()) GROUP BY date

Answer 2

You were almost there:
SELECT count(*) FROM tbl_upcoming WHERE MONTH(the_date)=MONTH(NOW())";
The approach of MONTH(NOW()) is good, this will return you the current month.
However you were comparing the current month with a whole date, which can't work. You also have to apply the MONTH() function to your date to compare months with months

Answer 3

You should check like this,
month can be from past year or next year also,
select count(*) as cnt from tbl_upcoming
where MONTH(date) = MONTH(CURRENT_DATE) and YEAR(date) = YEAR(CURRENT_DATE);
I hope this will help.

Answer 4

You want to know how many rows are in the current month?
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM tbl_upcoming
WHERE `date` >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL DAY(CURDATE())-1 DAY;
Notes:
In most situations, say simply COUNT(*).
CURDATE() is midnight this morning, hence easier to deal with for your query.
CURDATE() - INTERVAL DAY(CURDATE())-1 DAY gives you the DATE of the first of this month.
The formulation avoids all hiccups with various datatypes: DATE, DATETIME, DATETIME(6), TIMESTAMP, etc.
The next note handles leapdays, end of year, also.
If you have dates reaching into future months, then
add
AND `date` < CURDATE() - INTERVAL DAY(CURDATE())-1 DAY
+ INTERVAL 1 MONTH;
