Here is a query to get all rows in the past month.
$time = time() - 9676800;
$q = $this->db->query("
select id
from ipAddress
where date > {$time}
");
But how can i adjust this query to get all rows BESIDES the past month? Basically I want to end up deleting all rows over 1 month old
So long as your methodology for calculating "last/past month" satisfies you, then it's simple:
where date <= {$time}
You can use date_format, date_sub functions to get last month's dates.
Find answers here:
mysql last month date statement
and here
MySQL Query to calculate the Previous Month
You can do it like so
$time = strtotime('-1 Month');
$q = $this->db->query("
select id
from ipAddress
where `date` <= {$time}
");
but if date is a TIMESTAMP, DATE, or DATETIME string like 2013-02-27 22:16:38 or 2013-02-27 then you need something like
$time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 Month'));
$q = $this->db->query("
select id
from ipAddress
where `date` <= '{$time}'
");
Or purely in SQL
select id
from ipAddress
where `date` <= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH)
And if I remember correctly, date is a reserved mysql word so use backticks in your sql.

I have a varchar field contain a timestamp value, i want to get the tomorrow records.
This is my code as you can see:
$tomorrow = strtotime("1+ day");
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date > $tomorrow
but the query is incorrect
thanks for the help in advance
Should be like this :
$tomorrow = strtotime("+1 day");
/* this will select all record before tomorrow*/
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date < $tomorrow;
/* this will select all record after tomorrow*/
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date > $tomorrow;
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE task_accomplish_date > NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY
You should be able to do this all in the MySQL query
SELECT *
FROM `tasks`
WHERE DATE(`task_accomplish_date`) = DATE(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY)
That converts your task_accomplish_date into a date value and looks for records where that date is equal to today + 1 day (tomorrow). That does not give you records from 2 days from today or beyond, just tomorrow. If you want tomorrow and all records beyond tomorrow you would use
SELECT *
FROM `tasks`
WHERE DATE(`task_accomplish_date`) >= DATE(NOW() + INTERVAL 1 DAY)
If you are storing a timestamp, these only care about the date part of the timestamp, not about the time part of the timestamp. If you care about the time part as well you can remove DATE() from both sides of the = in the WHERE clause
I am trying to get the sum of the sales for the last week / month with php and mysql pdo. The sales date saved in unix timestamp format in database.
This is how I'm doing it right now;
$week = strtotime("+1 Week");
$getsales = $odb -> prepare("SELECT SUM(`amount`) FROM `sales` WHERE `date` < :date");
$getsales -> execute(array(':date' => $week));
Can someone give me a better way for it ?
You can use UNIX_TIMESTAMP function to convert date into timestamp and use it in the query, e.g.:
SELECT SUM(`amount`)
FROM `sales`
WHERE `date` BETWEEN UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE_ADD(NOW() -7 DAYS)) AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW());
Here's the documentation for UNIX_TIMESTAMP.
I want to get count of previous day records from database.
I am using following method
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-1 day'));
$users = 'SELECT Count(*) FROM users where date="'.$date.'"';
This is show count 0 as date format in database is (Y-m-d H:i:s).
Thanks.
Could just do
select count(*) from users where to_days(date) = (to_days(now()) - 1);
This is useful if your date column is a datetime - we're just converting to a day number and checking how many records have yesterdays day number.
Hope it will help you
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE date = (CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 DAY)
You might want to consider asking MYSQL itself about it, so that PHP doesn't have to compute it (and it is likely to be faster) :
SELECT Count(*) FROM users WHERE date = DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY)
I have the following relation in my schema:
Entries:
entryId(PK) auto_inc
date date
In order to count the total entries in the relation I use a query in my php like this:
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Frequency FROM Entries WHERE date = '$date'");
My question is how can I count the number of entries for the CURRENT month..
You want a between query based on your date column.
WHERE date BETWEEN startdate AND enddate.
Between is equivalent to date >= startdate AND date <= enddate. It would of course be also possible to just use >= AND < explicitly which would simplify it a bit because you don't need to find the last day of the month, but just the first day of the following month using only DATE_ADD(..., INTERVAL 1 MONTH).
However startdate and enddate in this case would be derived from CURDATE().
You can use CURDATE(), MONTH(), DATE_ADD and STR_TO_DATE to derive the dates you need (1st day of current month, last day of current month). This article solves a similar problem and all the techniques needed are shown in examples that you should be able to adapt:
http://www.gizmola.com/blog/archives/107-Calculate-a-persons-age-in-a-MySQL-query.html
The first day of the current month is obvious YEAR-MONTH(CURDATE())-01. The last day you can calculate by using DATE_ADD to add 1 Month to the first day of the current month, then DATE_ADD -1 Days.
update-
Ok, I went and formulated the full query. Don't think str_to_date is really needed to get the index efficiency but didn't actually check.
SELECT count(*)
FROM entries
WHERE `date` BETWEEN
CONCAT(YEAR(CURDATE()), '-', MONTH(CURDATE()), '-', '01')
AND
DATE_ADD(DATE_ADD(CONCAT(YEAR(CURDATE()), '-', MONTH(CURDATE()), '-', '01'), INTERVAL 1 MONTH), INTERVAL -1 DAY);
Try this
SELECT COUNT(1) AS `Frequency`
FROM `Entries`
WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM `date`) = EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM CURDATE())
See EXTRACT() and CURDATE()
Edit: Changed NOW() to CURDATE() as it is more appropriate here
Try
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Frequency FROM Entries WHERE MONTH(date) = MONTH(NOW()) );
I have a list of unix timestamps in a database, and I wanting to select the ones that are from today.
i.e If today is Tueday, I want to get all the timestamps that were made today? Is it possible? Is there such a things as strtotime("Today")?
Any help would be great
you can use mktime() to generate the timestamp for the start of the day and then find the database entries with a timestamp greater than that.
$start = strtotime(date('Y-m-d 00:00:00')); // Current date, at midnight
$end = strtotime(date('Y-m-d 23:59:59')); // Current date, at 11:59:59 PM
then, you can just select where the timestamp is between the above 2 timestamps:
"SELECT FROM `foo` WHERE `timestamp` BETWEEN '{$start}' and '{$end}'"
You can convert the unix timestamps to sql dates in the SQL using FROM_UNIXTIME(), then compare those to NOW()
SELECT * FROM `tablename` WHERE DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(`dateFld`)) = DATE(NOW());
Check if DAY(NOW()) and MONTH(NOW()) and YEAR(NOW()) is equal to appropriate value of DAY(timestamp) and MONTH(timestamp) and YEAR(timestamp).
select timestamp from table where DAY(NOW()) = DAY(timestamp) AND MONTH(NOW()) = MONTH(timestamp) AND YEAR(NOW()) = YEAR(timestamp)
If you're using mysql:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(NOW()) = DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(timestampcol))
FROM_UNIXTIME(somefield) can be compared to CURDATE() assuming you're using MySQL
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE FROM_UNIXTIME(datefield,'%Y-%m-%d') = CURDATE();
ETA:
Okay, I was assailed by doubt when this answer was marked down. So I went and did a couple of tests. Given MySQL it definitely works. So why the downmod?
Consider this test which outputs 2 identical fields for every row in a table:
SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(CURDATE()),'%Y-%m-%d') a , CURDATE() b
FROM tablewithsomerows
WHERE FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(CURDATE()),'%Y-%m-%d') = CURDATE();
