php mysql finding rows older than a day from date feald - php

Question

Here is how it should be:
search the database for uploads older than a day.
output the id's for the uploads in a list.
here is what I have so far:
<?php
include 'config.php';
$connect = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);
$timestamp = strtotime("-1 days");
$efined = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE timestamp < '$timestamp'");
$efound = mysql_query($efined);
$enum = mysql_numrows($efound);
$ecount = 0;
echo $enum.'records were found.';
while ($ecount < $enum) {
$euid = mysql_result($efound,$ecount,"uid");
echo $euid.'<br>';
$ecount++;
}
mysql_close($connect);
?>
currently, this outputs nothing, when there is a record 3 days old.
How would I spesify the date format? in my database, it looks like this: 2013-04-02.
thanks for any help,
josh.

Answer 1

this
$enum=mysql_numrows($efound);
should be
$enum=mysql_num_rows($efound);
EDIT.
try your sql like that
where timestamp < date('now', '-1 days')
edit:
you are defining two mysql_query
change this
$efined = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE timestamp < '$timestamp'");
to
$efined = "SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE timestamp < '$timestamp'";

Answer 2

Your mistake...
$efined = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE timestamp < '$timestamp'");
$efound=mysql_query($efined);
$enum=mysql_numrows($efound);
There must be only one query and wrong num_rows name...
$sql= "SELECT * FROM uploads WHERE timestamp < '$timestamp'";
$efound = mysql_query($sql);
$enum = mysql_num_rows($efound);
P.S. The old myslq functions support ends at PHP 5.4 . Its good for you to start using myslqi or PDO mysql !
