How do I query Last Week From Thursday to Wednesday? - php

Question

I am trying to get a query to pull records from last week from thursday morning at 12:00AM to Wednesday night at 12:00pm.
This needs to always run and be current. I have another query for the current week from thursday to wednesday and it actually works. I just need another query that shows results after the week has passed from last week.
I believe this query is for last week but not starting on Thursday and ending on Wednesday.
SELECT collector, SUM('amountcollected') as 'totalsum' FROM commissioninfo
WHERE thedate >= Curdate() - INTERVAL Dayofweek(Curdate())+6 day
AND thedate < Curdate() - INTERVAL Dayofweek(Curdate())-1 day
GROUP BY collector ORDER BY totalsum DESC

Answer 1

There might be a better way to do this using MySQL's own date functions, but I think I would probably just do it like this. I'm assuming that you meant Wednesday night at 11:59:59pm though, not noon:
$lastThursday = new DateTime("Thursday last week");
$wednesday = new DateTime("Wednesday");
$today = new DateTime("now");
$day = $today->format("l");
if ($day == "Sunday" || $day == "Monday" || $day == "Tuesday" || $day == "Wednesday") {
$lastThursday->modify("-1 week");
$wednesday->modify("-1 week");
}
$query = "SELECT collector, SUM('amountcollected') as 'totalsum' FROM commissioninfo WHERE thedate BETWEEN ".$lastThursday->format("Y-m-d")." AND ".$wednesday->format("Y-m-d ")." GROUP BY collector ORDER BY totalsum DESC";
