RE: [PHP] Is this the most effient to do with php an mysql?

I do not know if it is more efficient, but you can do this: $year = date("Y"); $Query = sprintf("SELECT y_id, year FROM Year WHERE year <= %s ORDER BY year DESC;", $year); $Result = mysql_query($Query); May I ask you what you are using this table for? /Peter -----Original Message----- From: Paul Goepfert [mailto:paul.goepfert@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 7:55 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Is this the most effient to do with php an mysql? Hi all, I have a table of years going from 1985 - 2008. These years represent the purchase year. I have created a SQL statement that selects the years that are available for purchase years. For example 2006 -1985. Here is the SQL statement I created to produce that output. SELECT y_id, year FROM Year WHERE year <= extract(year from now()) ORDER BY year desc; Is there a more efficient way to do this using more PHP and less mysql?
