I've looked at INTERVAL but it seems it only deals with one specific date
at a time?
date=10 : SELECT date+INTERVAL 10
would then mean date=20
Or have I got everything wrong?
What I looking at
from the value of date=10 ADD other dates for X days on, like this
(in a table, each record (row) has more data than the one given)
date=2001-04-10
date=2001-04-11
date=2001-04-12
This, if I'm mistaken can't be done with interval, at least not without
looping in PHP? And using two queries would not perhaps save as much code
as the way I solved it? Could be mistaken of course.
