How to get today's / yesterday's data from MySQL database?

Question

I would like to retrive a TODAY'S data from the database, but I don't know how to do it. I would actually want to get the data from NOT the past 24 hours, I just want today's data (so based on the actual server time).

I would also like to get data which was yesterday. Can anyone help me how to do it?

Sample code:

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE time = ???"

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I think you are looking for this:

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE DATE(time) = CURDATE()"

time must be a field in you table that holds a reference to the row.

update

To get yesterdays additions:

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE DATE(time) = CURDATE() - 1"

update 2

To get all additions this month:

"SELECT id FROM folk 
WHERE MONTH(time) = MONTH(NOW()) AND YEAR(time) = YEAR(NOW())"

Answer 2

SELECT id FROM folk WHERE DATE(time) = DATE(NOW());

SELECT id FROM folk WHERE DATE(time) = DATE(DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY));

provided that 'time' has a proper date-time type

Answer 3

As you are using timestamp:

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE time >= ".mktime(0, 0, 0)

That will select all data since beginning today.

If you want to get all date not for today, you would do

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE time < ".mktime(0, 0, 0)

To select data from yesterday, you would do:

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE time < ".mktime(0, 0, 0)." AND time >= ".mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d')-1, date('Y'))

If you were to use DATETIME, just for reference, it would be something like:

"SELECT id FROM folk WHERE time >= '".date('Y-m-d').' 00:00:00."'"

Answer 4

Try something like this>>

SELECT id from folk  WHERE DAY( date ) = EXTRACT(DAY from (NOW() - inTERVAL 
1 DAY ) )

Answer 5

Get current date by using something like following query

SELECT * 
 FROM your_table_name 
WHERE DAY('.$colum_name.') = DAY("2018-05-02")';
