DB READ - BETWEEN TWO DATES (V5)

atanunu 18 Feb, 2017
I need the DB Read action to get records between two dates, I am having issues making this work. Kindly help

NORMAL SQL QUERY
"WHERE Payment = 1 AND id = '$a' AND Date BETWEEN '$b' AND '$c'";


I need to implement the code above in array format below:

RETURN ARRAY AS REQUIRED BY DB READ ACTION

return array(
        'Payment' => 1,
        'id' => $form->data['pcuser'],
  	'PWVTransactionDate >= ' => $form->data['pcfromactual'],
  	'PWVTransactionDate <= ' <= $form->data['pctoactual'],
);
?>


I will be very grateful

Hi atanunu,

The last line in the array is wrong, it should be => like the others, this is php array syntax.

The date supplied should be in the mysql format too, try this:

date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($form->data["date_field"]))


Best regards,

Thanks sir, the date is formatted as required and as contained in the MySQL table.

I have attached a screen shot of the table with out conditions and my error should be properly using the
BETWEEN '2005-01-01 00:00:00 AM' AND '2017-02-19 00:00:00 AM'
In the return array

Hi atanunu,

Please try
<?php
return array( ": `Payment` = 1 AND ( `PWVTransactionDate` BETWEEN '{$form->data['pcfromactual']}' AND '{$form->data['pctoactual']}' )" );
?>
