RE: [PHP-DB] Date comparison problem

But I would like to do it the other way round. I mean for the solution you have mentioned, I have to make the query on the whole record, then compare the two dates and filter the right ones. I'd like to make the query look like: SELECT something FROM table WHERE datetime < "$form_date" So I think I have to adjust the form of my "$form_date". Or am I making a mistake somewhere?
