i have a table where i enter entries for applicants. it has a column date_added where the type is timestamp and the default is current_timestamp. i want to make a weekly and monthly report but i can't decide what would be the best thing to do. i need an sql statement that return the number of entry like this..
switch($searchby){
case "monthly": $qry = "select * from tblapplicant where date_added > $month"; break;
case "weekly": $qry = "select * from tblapplicant where date_added > $week"; break;
}
$res = mysql_query($select);
$rec_count = mysql_num_rows($res);
echo "There are <font color='red' size='3'>".$rec_count."</font> matching records found.";
i know this is incorrect but this is all i can think at the moment.
another thing i want is, i want it to be the exact year and month report..
edit:
output should be:
There are 13 applicants for the whole month of June 2013. - or if weekly -
There are 3 applicants for the third quarter of July 2013.
I suggest the following approach. First, use your php code to determine the day that your search period begins, and the day after it ends. For example, if it's a monthtly report for September 2013, your start date would be 2013-09-01, and the end date would be 2013-10-01. Then you simply have one query.
where date_added >= $startdate
and date_added < $enddate
The major benefits of this approach are:
The time component of your timestamp field gets handled.
Your query will run reasonably quickly, especially if date_added is indexed.
It's easier to sort out programmnig logic with application code than with sql
You can write your query as a stored procedure to make it even faster.
This can be your sql statement
select * from tblapplicant where month(date_added) > $month
select * from tblapplicant where DAYOFWEEK(date_added) = X
You should replace X whith your weeek day 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, …, 7 = Saturday

I have s MySQL Query where I want to pull data from my database but base it on the current month information
FROM lbs_trace_etrack WHERE (lbs_agent = '$slfirstname' AND DATE (lbs_date) = CURDATE()) ORDER BY lbs_date DESC LIMIT 0,50");
This string pulls out the information for the current day.
I have also tried the below string but get no results from it:
FROM lbs_trace_etrack WHERE (lbs_agent = '$slfirstname' AND MONTH(lbs_date) = (MONTH(NOW()) AND YEAR(lbs_date) = YEAR(NOW())
My table date format is as follow 2016-08-02
Or using PHP variables as so:
<?php
$start = date('Y-m-01'); // FIRST DAY OF CURRENT MONTH
$end = date("Y-m-t", strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))); // LAST DAY OF CURRENT MONTH
$sql = "SELECT * FROM lbs_trace_etrack WHERE lbs_agent = '".$slfirstname."' AND (lbs_date BETWEEN '".$start."' AND '".$end."')";
?>
I have done the following and it works
FROM lbs_trace_etrack WHERE lbs_agent = '$slfirstname' AND MONTH(lbs_date) = MONTH(CURDATE()) AND YEAR(lbs_date) = YEAR(CURDATE()) ORDER BY lbs_date ASC, lbs_time ASC
Thanks to all and Tijo for guidance
Assuming lbs_agent is a DATE field type as mentioned in comments, you could do this (note I am just showing the pertinent date part of your WHERE clause):
WHERE lbs_agent >= DATE_FORMAT(NOW() ,'%Y-%m-01')
It is important that you do not use a function call on the left (field definition) side of the WHERE comparison, as you will then not be able to leverage any index on that field. Doing this would require a full table scan with MySQL performing the function on this field for every row in the table such that the comparison can be made.
Feel free to use MySQL functions for the comparison value, as those would be calculated just once when the query is being planned. You would then be able to use an index on the field for quickly filtering the rows in the table that meet the criteria. From a query execution standpoint, this is basically that same as if your query has this WHERE clause:
WHERE lbs_agent >= '2016-08-01'
This is as compared to the examples in your question which would be executed as:
WHERE DATE(lbs_date) = '2016-08-03'
and
WHERE MONTH(lbs_date) = 8 AND YEAR(lbs_date) = 2016
Both of these would require full table scan since the values derived from the field are not able to be determined until the row is scanned.
You could try to extract the month, such as EXTRACT(MONTH from NOW())
you can use following code if it timestamp
MONTH(CURDATE())
I am begginer using PHP and MSQL and I can not filter the results of my table correctly. I want to show me all the fields in the table that keep the condition that there are still two hours for the date and time I have stored.
I used this query but does not work well, because if the current month is 12 and is stored in the DB 1 is not shown, as if even the time stored is less than 2 hours even another day:
putenv('TZ=Europe/Madrid');
$anoE = date("y");
$mesE = date("m");
$diaE = date("d");
$horaE = date("H");
...
$consulta = "SELECT tipo,nombre,descripcion,hora,minuto ,lugar,duracion,fecha,horacero,id,ano,dia,mes,equipo FROM ".$tabla." WHERE ".$anoE." <= `ano` AND ".$mesE." <= `mes` AND ".$diaE." <= `dia` AND ".$horaE." <= `(hora+2)` ORDER BY ano,mes,dia,hora,minuto";
I don't know how i can write the while condition for the query shows fields which remain them two hours beyond the current time (same day)
If your field type is DATETIME (if not, make it) you can use simple query:
SELECT *
FROM table_name
WHERE datetime_field_name BETWEEN DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 2 HOUR) AND NOW()
Which will select all records that are between now - 2 hours and now.
I'm using ChartJS to build a few graphs for ticketing applications.
What I'm trying to do is query the MySQL database for # of tickets created for the 1st, 2nd, 4rd, and 4th week of the current month.
$month_num_tickets = array();
for ($x=0;$x<=30;$x=$x+6) {
$from = date("Y-m-d 00:00:00",strtotime('first day of this month +'.$x.' days', time()));
$to = date("Y-m-d 23:59:59",strtotime($from, time()));
$get = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM tickets WHERE date_created BETWEEN UNIX_TIMESTAMP('$from') AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP('$to') AND assigned_tech_uid='$uid'") or die(mysql_error());
$month_num_tickets[] = mysql_num_rows($get);
}
Not sure how to setup the loop...
You can get a nice tidy count in a single query like this:
SELECT
CEIL(DAYOFMONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date_created)) / 7) AS week_of_month,
COUNT(id) AS tickets_per_week
FROM tickets
WHERE YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(date_created)) = ?
AND MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date_created)) = ?
GROUP BY `week_of_month`
ORDER BY `week_of_month` ASC
Note if you used native datetime or timestamp fileds, you could get rid of all of those FROM_UNIXTIME conversions. This is based on a "week" being the first 7 days of the month, not based on specific days of the week. If you wanted it based on fixed weeks (in terms of sunday through saturday or such) you could just use WEEK() function in the SELECT instead.
That might look like this:
SELECT
WEEK(FROM_UNIXTIME(date_created), 0) AS week_number,
COUNT(id) AS tickets_per_week
FROM tickets
WHERE YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(date_created)) = ?
AND MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date_created)) = ?
GROUP BY `week_number`
ORDER BY `week_number` ASC
Here week_number would be a value between 0-53 and would not necessarily have any meaning for display other than as a means for aggregation. I am using mode 0 for WEEK() functoin as this specifies Sun-Sat week. You can look at the definitions here and determine what mode suits you the best: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_week
None of these queries are optimized because you won't be able to use an index on date_created . If you do get around to changing that column type to a datetime or timestamp, you would also perhaps want to change you WHERE condition to the slightly less easy to read, but more index friendly version like this:
WHERE date_created BETWEEN '2014-12-01 00:00:00' AND '2014-12-31 23:59:29'
I think this should work for you
SELECT YEARWEEK(date_created), MONTH(date_created), COUNT(*) FROM tickets
WHERE date_created BETWEEN UNIX_TIMESTAMP('$from') AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP('$to') AND
assigned_tech_uid='$uid'
GROUP BY YEARWEEK(date_created), MONTH(date_created)
I'm truly stumped on something - I have a table in my database with a column called 'today' that has Date and Time records. The column has entries that look like this:
October 25, 2014, 4:58 am
October 25, 2014, 4:36 am
I'm having trouble pulling the rows by date; I think the time stamp is messing with the MySQL query. And I need an SQL query to pull any records where the variable $today matches the date information in the column 'today'. This doesn't work:
$today = date("F j, Y"); // looks like this: October 25, 2014
$result = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM records WHERE today = $today"); // 'today' represents the column in the table
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
echo var_dump($row);
}
I just get an empty result, I think due to the time stamp. Can someone advise on a better MySQL query that will only grab the rows where $today matches the date in the 'today' column?
Although storing the date and time as string in varchar is not really a good idea, you could still alter your query to match string containing the current date with a LIKE statement:
$result = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM records WHERE today LIKE '$today%'");
That is just to get your current setup working as a temporary fix but i highly suggest you take a look at datetime and timestamp or similar date types if this is a serious project and not just playing around. with programming.
UPDATE
With a datetime you could get the dates which are the same as today with:
SELECT * FROM `records` WHERE `today` = CURDATE();
with a timestamp you would need to pass it as date so your query would be:
SELECT * FROM `records` WHERE date(`today`) = CURDATE();
You can just use the MySQL date functions:
SELECT *
FROM records
WHERE today = CURRENT_DATE;
If there is a time component on the today column, then the best structure is:
SELECT *
FROM records
WHERE today >= CURRENT_DATE and today < date_add(CURRENT_DATE, interval 1 day)
It's obvious that both dates are not equal. Both dates are treated like text values and are not equal. You need to convert the column containing date in your MySQL query as such:
$result = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM records WHERE DATE_FORMAT(today, '%F %j, %Y') = $today");
Note that you have to change your column to store values of the type of DATE. Or just use queries as proposed in other answers.
Okay guys, this probably has an easy answer but has been stumping me for a few hours now.
I am using PHP/HTML to generate a table from a MySQL Table. In the MySQL table (TimeRecords) I have a StartTime and EndTime column. In my SELECT statement I am subtracting the EndTime from the StartTime and aliasing that as TotalHours. Here is my query thus far:
$query = "SELECT *,((EndTime - StartTime)/3600) AS TotalPeriodHours
FROM TimeRecords
WHERE Date
BETWEEN '{$CurrentYear}-{$CurrentMonth}-1'
AND '{$CurrentYear}-{$CurrentMonth}-31'
ORDER BY Date
";
I then loop that through an HTML table. So far so good. What I would like to do is to add up all of the TotalHours and put that into a separate DIV. Any ideas on 1) how to write the select statement and 2) where to call that code from the PHP/HTML?
Thanks in advance!
Try this
$query= "
SELECT ((EndTime - StartTime)/3600) AS Hours, otherFields, ...
FROM TimeRecords
WHERE
Date BETWEEN '{$CurrentYear} - {$CurrentMonth} - 1'
AND '{$CurrentYear}-{$CurrentMonth} - 31' ";
$records =mysql_query($query);
$sum= 0;
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($records))
{
echo"$row['otherFields']";
echo"$row['Hours']";
$sum+=$row['Hours'];
}
echo" Total Hours : $sum ";
Just use a single query with a Sum(). You could also manually calculate it if you're already displaying all rows. (If paginating or using LIMIT, you'll need a separate query like below.)
$query = "
SELECT Sum(((EndTime - StartTime)/3600)) AS SumTotalPeriodHours
FROM TimeRecords
WHERE
Date BETWEEN '{$CurrentYear} - {$CurrentMonth} - 1'
AND '{$CurrentYear}-{$CurrentMonth} - 31'
";
You can do this in the same query if you have a unique id using GROUP BY WITH ROLLUP
$query = "
SELECT unique_id,SUM((EndTime - StartTime)/3600) AS TotalPeriodHours
FROM TimeRecords
WHERE Date BETWEEN '{$CurrentYear}-{$CurrentMonth}-1'
AND '{$CurrentYear}-{$CurrentMonth}-31'
GROUP BY unique_id WITH ROLLUP
ORDER BY Date
";
In this instance the last result from your query with contain NULL and the overall total. If you don't have a unique ID you will need to do it in PHP as per Naveen's answer.
A few comments on your code:
Using SELECT * is not considered good practice. SELECT the columns you need.
Not all months have a day 31 so this may produce unexpected results. If you're using PHP5.3+, you can use
$date = new DateTime();
$endDate = $date->format( 'Y-m-t' );
The "t" flag here gets the last day of that month. See PHP docs for more on DateTime.
