Search x amount of days from listed date

Hey all,

Im new to this forum so Im unsure if this is meant for here or what

I want to make a search feature, but want to make a "only show articles from 5 days ago" part. How would i go about doing this in mysql? i have 4.1 and the field is DateListed.

For example: I want to parse through a number, and take that number from the current date and search the database for anything beween then and now.

Sorry i havnt explained it well.. hehe

Thankyou very much.

-Christian

Try something along the lines of:

Code:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE DATEDIFF(datefield, NOW()) < 5
