how do I get month from date in mysql - php

Question

I want to be able to fetch results from mysql with a statement like this:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE amount > 1000
But I want to fetch the result constrained to a certain a month and year (based on input from user)... I was trying like this:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE amount > 1000
AND dateStart = MONTH('$m')
...$m being a month but it gave error.
In that table, it actually have two dates: startDate and endDate but I am focusing on startDate. The input values would be month and year. How do I phrase the SQL statement that gets the results based on that month of that year?

Answer 1

You were close - got the comparison backwards (assuming startDate is a DATETIME or TIMESTAMP data type):
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE amount > 1000
AND MONTH(dateStart) = {$m}
Caveats:
Mind that you are using mysql_escape_string or you risk SQL injection attacks.
Function calls on columns means that an index, if one exists, can not be used
Alternatives:
Because using functions on columns can't use indexes, a better approach would be to use BETWEEN and the STR_TO_DATE functions:
WHERE startdate BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE([start_date], [format])
AND STR_TO_DATE([end_date], [format])
See the documentation for formatting syntax.
Reference:
MONTH
YEAR
BETWEEN
STR_TO_DATE

Answer 2

Use the month() function.
select month(now());

Answer 3

Try this:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE amount > 1000 AND MONTH(dateStart) = MONTH('$m') AND YEAR(dateStart) = YEAR('$m')

Answer 4

E.g.
$date = sprintf("'%04d-%02d-01'", $year, $month);
$query = "
SELECT
x,y,dateStart
FROM
tablename
WHERE
AND amount > 1000
AND dateStart >= $date
AND dateStart < $date+Interval 1 month
";
mysql_query($query, ...
This will create a query like e.g.
WHERE
AND amount > 1000
AND dateStart >= '2010-01-01'
AND dateStart < '2010-01-01'+Interval 1 month
+ Interval 1 month is an alternative to date_add().
SELECT Date('2010-01-01'+Interval 1 month)-> 2010-02-01
SELECT Date('2010-12-01'+Interval 1 month)-> 2011-01-01
This way you always get the first day of the following month. The records you want must have a dateStart before that date but after/equal to the first day of the month (and year) you've passed to sprintf().
'2010-01-01'+Interval 1 month doesn't change between rows. MySQL will calculate the term only once and can utilize indices for the search.

Answer 5

Try this
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE amount > 1000
AND MONTH(datestart)
GROUP BY EXTRACT(YEAR_MONTH FROM datestart)

Answer 6

Try this if(date field is text then convert this string to date):
SELECT * FROM `table_name` WHERE MONTH(STR_TO_DATE(date,'%d/%m/%Y'))='11'
//This will give month number MONTH(STR_TO_DATE(date,'%d/%m/%Y'))
//If its return 11 then its November
// Change date format with your date string format %d/%m/%Y

Answer 7

Works in: MySQL 5.7, MySQL 5.6, MySQL 5.5, MySQL 5.1, MySQL 5.0, MySQL 4.1, MySQL 4.0, MySQL 3.23
Day:
SELECT EXTRACT(DAY FROM "2017-06-15");
Month:
SELECT EXTRACT(MONTH FROM "2017-06-15");
Year:
SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM "2017-06-15");
