I have a field in my db table as creater_date
as datetime and having values stored in the form of 2013-09-13 02:12:44
Now I have to compare today-date(no time) with creater_date
table field .
I tried this below code but it is showing error:
function check_existing_User_weightStatus($u_id)
{
$this->load->database();
$this->load->helper('date');
$today = date('Y-m-d');
$array = array(
'creater_id' => $u_id,
DATE('creater_date') => $today
);
$this->db->where($array);
$query = $this->db->get('user_weight');
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Getting error :
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '13 Sep 2013 02:48:27 +0530Asia/Calcuttaam30Asia/Calcutta13_13am30Asia/Calcutta '' at line 4

I do not want to compare with the time, I only want to compare with today's date. The field creater_date
(eg. 2013-09-13 02:12:44) is a datetime
datatype, but only the date part is relevant to my query.
The problem is that your code generates a faulty SQL syntax, like the error shows.
I'm not an expert with codeIgniter, but here's how to do a normal query directly, that's probably what you want to do:
function check_existing_User_weightStatus($u_id)
{
$today = date('Y-m-d');
$this->load->database();
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM `user_weight` WHERE `creater_id` = '$u_id' AND DATE(`created_date`) = '$today'");
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
The error in your code is occurring at this line
$array = array('creater_id' => $u_id,DATE('created_date') => $today);
I'm pretty sure this is not how the where clause will be done, so you might lookup the codeIgniter docs ! to find the right way to do that ! (You're not telling the where clause to use AND
, OR
, etc.. operators)
