How to query data within a specified date range using PHP

PHP is a commonly used server-side programming language, often used to implement data processing and interaction in the background of the website. In many websites, it is necessary to query relevant data records based on date. This article will introduce how to use PHP to query data within a specified date range.

1. Connect to the database

First, we need to connect to the database. You can use extensions like mysqli or PDO in PHP to connect to the database. Here, take the mysqli extension as an example:

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "dbname";

// 创建连接
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// 检查连接
if (!$conn) {
    die("连接失败: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

2. Query the specified date data

Next, we can use SQL statements to query data within the specified date range. Suppose there is a table orders, which stores order information, and the date field is order_date. We can use the following code to query order data from January 1, 2018 to January 31, 2018:

$start_date = '2018-01-01';
$end_date = '2018-01-31';

$sql = "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date BETWEEN '$start_date' AND '$end_date'";

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    // 输出数据
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo "订单号: " . $row["order_id"]. " - 金额: " . $row["amount"]. " - 日期: " . $row["order_date"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "没有找到订单数据";
}

In the above code, the BETWEEN operator is used to query order data between two dates, Because the date field is a string type, you need to use single quotes to include the date value in the SQL statement.

3. Complete code

The following is a complete PHP code example, which can be put into a php file and called where needed:

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "dbname";

// 创建连接
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// 检查连接
if (!$conn) {
    die("连接失败: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

$start_date = '2018-01-01';
$end_date = '2018-01-31';

$sql = "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date BETWEEN '$start_date' AND '$end_date'";

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    // 输出数据
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo "订单号: " . $row["order_id"]. " - 金额: " . $row["amount"]. " - 日期: " . $row["order_date"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "没有找到订单数据";
}

mysqli_close($conn);

In the above code, the fields and data in the orders table are only examples. Please modify the code according to the actual situation. At the same time, in practical applications, we must pay attention to preventing security issues such as SQL injection.

Summary

Using PHP to query data within a specified date range requires connecting to the database and using SQL statements to query. The commonly used query symbol is the BETWEEN operator. In practical applications, you need to pay attention to security issues and prevent SQL injection and other attacks.
