Good Day!!!

If you are looking for source code in Search Two Dates In Data Table Using PHP then you are at the right place. In this article, we create a simple program that will teach you on how to create searching data use by two dates in PHP/MySQL. Let's begin with this:

Creating our Table

For the first step, we are going to make our database. To create a database:

Open PHPMyAdmin
Create a database and name it as "lms_1".
After creating a database name, click the SQL and kindly copy the code below.

--
-- Table structure for table `user`
--
 
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `user` (
  `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `school_number` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `firstname` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `middlename` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `lastname` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `contact` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `gender` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `address` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `type` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `level` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `section` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `user_image` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `status` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `user_added` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`user_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=41 ;

Creating The Form Field

This form field where the user can search data using two dates.

<form method="POST" action="user_log_search.php" class="form-inline">
<div class="control-group">
    <div class="controls">
        <div class="col-md-3">
            <input type="date" style="color:black;" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d'); ?>" name="datefrom" class="form-control has-feedback-left" placeholder="Date From" aria-describedby="inputSuccess2Status4" required />
            <span class="fa fa-calendar-o form-control-feedback left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
            <span id="inputSuccess2Status4" class="sr-only">(success)</span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
    <div class="controls">
        <div class="col-md-3">
            <input type="date" style="color:black;" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d'); ?>" name="dateto" class="form-control has-feedback-left" placeholder="Date To" aria-describedby="inputSuccess2Status4" required />
            <span class="fa fa-calendar-o form-control-feedback left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
            <span id="inputSuccess2Status4" class="sr-only">(success)</span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<button type="submit" name="search" class="btn btn-primary btn-outline"><i class="fa fa-calendar-o"></i> Search By Date Log In</button>         
</form>

Creating Connection

This PHP source code is our database connection, kindly copy and save it as "dbcon.php".

<?php
mysql_select_db('lms_1',mysql_connect('localhost','root',''))or die(mysql_error());
?>

Our Search Script

This source code will execute after the user set the two dates to search data in the data table.

<?php
$datefrom = $_POST['datefrom'];
$dateto = $_POST['dateto'];
$result= mysql_query("select * from user_log 
LEFT JOIN user ON user_log.user_id = user.user_id 
where user_log.date_log BETWEEN '".$_POST['datefrom']." 00:00:01' and '".$_POST['dateto']." 23:59:59' 
order by user_log.user_log_id DESC ") or die (mysql_error());
while ($row= mysql_fetch_array ($result) ){
$id=$row['user_log_id'];
$user_id=$row['user_id'];
?>

And, this is the output: Result
