I'm trying to build an events calendar in PHP and SQL based on an example by David Walsh. His example is quite old and uses functions like mysql_query which are deprecated so I have tried to modernise using PDO. So far I've managed to print out the calendar and am able to select different months and years. I've also successfully created a database connection. The table consists of an id (Auto incremented), title (varchar) and event_date(date). I've populated the table with a few events but I can't seem to retrieve them successfully. I've included the most relevant parts of the code at the top but I've copied the whole code over for context.
$events = array();
try { $results = $db->query("SELECT title, DATE_FORMAT(event_date,'%Y-%m-%d') AS event_date FROM events WHERE event_date LIKE '$year-$month'");
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($results);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "cannot get results!";
exit;
}
$bookings = $results->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
while($row = $bookings) {
$events[$row['event_date']][] = $row;
}
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($bookings);
object(PDOStatement)#2 (1) {
["queryString"]=>
string(105) "SELECT title, DATE_FORMAT(event_date,'%Y-%m-%d') AS event_date FROM events WHERE event_date LIKE '2014-1'"
}
array(0) {
}

Besides the LIKE issue
FetchAll
get the entire set,so while wont work.Use foreach
foreach ($bookings as $row) {
$events[$row['event_date']][] = $row;
}
Also in your while you use the assignment operator instead of the comparison ==
I think you forgot a wildcard in your sql query string.
You can try this:
WHERE event_date LIKE '$year-$month%'"
You will do much better if you handle your event_date
column as a date rather than as a text field.
Try this query:
SELECT title,
DATE_FORMAT(event_date,'%Y-%m-%d') AS event_date
FROM events
WHERE event_date >= DATE(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y-%m-01'))
AND event_date < DATE(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y-%m-01')) + INTERVAL 1 MONTH
This will find all the event_date
values in the present month, and at the same time will use the MySQL index on event_date
for searching if you have one.
If you want last month's events, you can do this instead.
WHERE event_date >= DATE(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y-%m-01')) - INTERVAL 1 MONTH
AND event_date < DATE(DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y-%m-01'))
