Of course you have to assign this construct to a variable because PHP has to interpret the two date calls: $query = 'SELECT * FROM NewsArchive WHERE YEAR(date) = ' . date('Y') . ' AND MONTH(date) = ' . date('m') . ' ORDER BY sort DESC'; If you echo out $query it should look like: SELECT * FROM NewsArchive WHERE YEAR(date) = 2004 AND MONTH(date) = 05 ORDER BY sort DESC Use $query now in your mysql query command (probably mysql_query()) Hope this works, Torsten > > any ideas? > > thanks again!!
