Search Between dates YII

Question

We have a date example : 2016-05-10, i am trying to get a query from database using this date.

We have 2 tables : publish_at and end_at

SELECT * FROM  `news` WHERE end_at <=  '2016-05-11' AND publish_at >=  '2016-05-10'

This returns incorrect data as it does not show an event that has publish_at :2016-05-10 and end_at 2016-05-12

SELECT * FROM news WHERE '2016-05-11' BETWEEN publish_at AND end_at

This returns correct item but does not return if date is 10 or 12 only if between

Answer 1

The first query return correct data since the query reqest all events that publish in the 2016/05/10 or after and ended in the 2016/05/11 or before.

Change the query to

Select * from news where end_at between '2016-05-10' and '2016-05-11' or publish_at betweeb '2016-05-10' and '2016-05-12'
