RE: [PHP] can't get it to work

Why not "SELECT .... WHERE date_field<$max_date and date_field>$min_date" ? A very god advice for everyone of you who tries to implement PHP for the where selects: You can VERY OFTEN leave this job to the DB itself. SQL don't only have SELECT, UPDATE etc... they all have lots of functions for the data comparisons and output formatting. Take some time reading the manuals and you will discover a whole new world on the RDBMS use.
