Re: php-mySQL and an SQL query

mysql doesn't support sub-queries unfortunately =( At 10:22 PM 3/8/01 -0500, Michael Gerholdt wrote:

Hi, folks, Can someone insight me regarding this? I have a datetime field in mySQL (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) called event_time I want to pull records hitting against this field with the idea: where the abbreviated month from this field LIKE '$month' and here's the SQL string I've been playing with. It works when I comment out the line that tries to do the above with a subquery. $strSQL = "SELECT DATE_FORMAT(event_time, '%M %e %Y, %l:%i %p'), bandname, image "; $strSQL .= "FROM doings, styles "; $strSQL .= "WHERE style = musicstyle "; $strSQL .= "AND bandname LIKE '$artist' "; $strSQL .= "AND style LIKE '$style' "; $strSQL .= "AND (SELECT DATE_FORMAT(event_time, '%b') FROM doings) LIKE '$month' "; $strSQL .= "ORDER BY event_time"; echo "$strSQL<BR>"; $month will be carrying the three-character short version of the alpha month name. I don't think it likes my subquery, though I like it just fine.
