使用 PHP 变量和 STR_TO_DATE 的 MySQL 日期范围

Question

After passing in values to from and to via this call:

getTransactions.php?from=05/01/17&to=05/31/17

I get nothing returned from the MySQL call:

$data = $pdoProducts->query("SELECT * FROM `transactions`
        WHERE STR_TO_DATE(date, '%m/%d/%y') 
        BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE($from, '%m/%d/%y') 
        AND STR_TO_DATE($to, '%m/%d/%y')")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

I have several other calls that do work using the STR_TO_DATE method and the date in the table, so I know that the data in the table is correctly formatted.

However, I still cannot get this date range to work. Am I formatting something wrong?

Answer 1

If Data type is varchar

SELECT * FROM user_attendance
WHERE STR_TO_DATE(date, '%d/%m/%Y') 
BETWEEN STR_TO_DATE('21/05/2014', '%d/%m/%Y') 
AND STR_TO_DATE('21/06/2014', '%d/%m/%Y')
