In this tutorial, we will create a Filter Range Of Date With MySQLi using PHP. This code can filter a range of table row from MySQLi when the user provides two dates from inputs. The code use MySQLi SELECT query to filter a variety of data in the MySQL row by providing two dates in the WHERE clause by adding a parameter BETWEEN. This a user-friendly program feel free to modify and use it to your system.
We will be using PHP as a scripting language and interpreter that is mainly used on any web server, including xamp, wamp, etc. It is being applied to any popular websites because of the modern approach as its today.
Getting Started:
First, you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here’s the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.
And, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.
Creating Database
Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_range, after that click Import then locates the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok.
Creating the database connection
Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.
<?php
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_range");
if(!$conn){
die("Error: Failed to connect to database!");
}
?>
Creating The Interface
This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a href="https://sourcecodester.com" class="navbar-brand">Sourcecodester</a>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="col-md-3"></div>
<div class="col-md-6 well">
<h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Filter Range Of Date With MySQLi</h3>
<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #000;"/>
<form class="form-inline" method="POST" action="">
<label>Date:</label>
<input type="date" class="form-control" placeholder="Start" name="date1"/>
<label>To</label>
<input type="date" class="form-control" placeholder="End" name="date2"/>
<button class="btn btn-primary" name="search"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span></button> <a href="index.php" type="button" class="btn btn-success"><span class = "glyphicon glyphicon-refresh"><span></a>
</form>
<br /><br />
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead class="alert-info">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Project</th>
<th>Date Submit</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php include'range.php'?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Creating the Main Function
This code contains the main function of the application. This code will filter a range of data when the button is clicked. To do that just copy and write this block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as range.php.
<?php
require'conn.php';
if(ISSET($_POST['search'])){
$date1 = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['date1']));
$date2 = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['date2']));
$query=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `member` WHERE `date_submit` BETWEEN '$date1' AND '$date2'") or die(mysqli_error());
$row=mysqli_num_rows($query);
if($row>0){
while($fetch=mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $fetch['firstname']?></td>
<td><?php echo $fetch['lastname']?></td>
<td><?php echo $fetch['project']?></td>
<td><?php echo $fetch['date_submit']?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
}else{
echo'
<tr>
<td colspan = "4"><center>Record Not Found</center></td>
</tr>';
}
}else{
$query=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `member`") or die(mysqli_error());
while($fetch=mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $fetch['firstname']?></td>
<td><?php echo $fetch['lastname']?></td>
<td><?php echo $fetch['project']?></td>
<td><?php echo $fetch['date_submit']?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
}
?>
