Select data from table where date = today

Hello.

I want to select data from a table where the date is today,,but still not success yet.
One of column is date,,that is where the date is saved, its mysql type data is date.


$data['tbl_report'] = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM tbl_report where  sales_id= '".$this->session->id."'  ")->result();

That is OK, all data is well output. But i want to show data that is only from today transaction. So I try this :

$todaydate    =date('Y-m-d');
$data['tbl_report'] = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM tbl_report where  sales_id= '".$this->session->id."' AND date= .$todaydate ")->result();

Its not error, but the table only shows empty result, nothing show up.
How to fix that?

Hi,

First off I must start on the fact you have critical security problems with your code. If you are using similar queries in your application you have giving everyone a master key. They have access to all your data in the database.

You should use the query bindings if you don't use the Query Builder.

And for the date part, I think the problem are that you need to have quotes around the date string.

You can use last_query to see what it's actually generating, and run it directly inside the database.

$todaydate    =date('Y-m-d');

$data['tbl_report'] = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM tbl_report where  sales_id= '".$this->session->id."' AND date= '".$todaydate."')->result();

Yes,it works,, thanks very much

I can see that you didn't update your code regarding the security issues. Please read the links provided in my last post. It's a critical security hole.
