Hi i have this query that search data between two date range

select RA, Name, Model, Plate, Service, Grand_total, Payment_type from advance WHERE SDate BETWEEN '" . $from . "' AND '" . $to . "' ORDER BY Payment_type

which is working great but i need to alter it so that it will also search for specific time range between that date range but seems not working properly

"select RA, Name, Model, Plate, Service, Grand_total, Payment_type from advance WHERE SDate BETWEEN '" . $from . "' AND '" . $to . "' AND Time BETWEEN '" . $fromtime . "' AND '" . $totime . "' ORDER BY Payment_type

my table structure for SDate is date and for Time is time

what am i doing wrong..?

It's a logic error.

You are searching between two times for all days in the range. You want to search from a specific date and time up to another date and time.

hi thats what i keep on telling to my superior that its not possible to search between two date range with two diff time range. but he told me to find a way to make it happen such a pain...:((

So, here's another approach... use a select statement to select records from another select statement..For example..

select * from (select * from table1 where sDate BETWEEN 'mm-dd-yyyy' AND 'mm-dd-yyyy') where sTime BETWEEN 'hh.mm.ss' AND 'hh.mm.ss'

So this is just an example, but it should give you an idea on how to approach this.

It IS possible.

Are you searching from the first date and time to the second date and time?

You can convert both columns into one, or change the where.

CONCAT(`datefield`, ' ', `timefield`) AS `datetime`
