Does today's date intersect existing ranges in database PHP/MYSQL

Question

I'm creating a time off requester for my business and I think I've run into a small issue.

Goal: I want to display a page that will show me if anyone has request the current day off.

Problem: I have the date_from and date_to fields which contain the information of the start and end dates for each request off. However, and I apologize if I'm just over thinking (under thinking?) the solution, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to compare if today's current date (yyyy-mm-dd) intersects with any of the current records in my database. I've tried toying around with the between query but haven't had much luck.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM TheTable
WHERE CURDATE() BETWEEN date_from AND date_to
