Really I am a PHP beginner, I am working on this code and I need help, kinda stuck.
I have a database with 3 fields(id, date and venue). This is simply what I want to do;
I want my script to go into the database fetch the date and compare it with a declared date(todays date) and if both days are equal, it should echo out the venue that corresponds to the date taken from Mysql.

Jump to PostHi
First you must have a valid date field in your table structure.
SELECT venue FROM tablename WHERE date_column = curdate()
Jump to PostHi aMOEBa
Your doing it incorrectly. ;)
Jump to PostThis should work:
$query = "Select venue from programOutline where `date` = '$curDate'";
If you're only interested in today, this works too:
$query = "Select venue from programOutline where `date` = CURDATE()";
