I have a MySql database that uses a time field to track when the entry was inserted.

Now I want to query the table for entries by a time range.
I would prefer to use MySql to extract the records instead of extracting all records then iterating and comparing time in php.

success on these two kinds of queries:

// this doesn't appear to be working
SELECT * FROM table_name 
WHERE DATE(TIME_ROW_START) BETWEEN '".$timestart."' AND DATE(TIME_ROW_END) BETWEEN '".$timeend."';

// this doesn't appear to be working either
SELECT * FROM table_name 
WHERE DATE(TIME_ROW_START) >= '".$timestart."'
AND DATE(TIME_ROW_END) <= '".$timeend."';

Is there a way to do this?

Maybe you should stick to the same thread. Progression of an idea is a worthy *addition* to an existing thread that you started. Creating new threads and ignoring threads in progress just risks alienating contributors that offered to help you.

OK, perhaps mark this as solved - just to prevent others from posting here, and carry on with the old one. :)
