    <p>You have quoted your table name with single quotes <code>'</code>. If you quote it, do so with backticks. Single quotes are only for string literals in MySQL. This results in a syntax error in your query.</p> <pre><code>$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `" . $table_prefix . "users` where user_regdate = '" . $date . "'"); </code></pre> <p>Next, <code>getdate()</code> in PHP returns an array rather than the date string, which supplies your query with the word <code>Array</code> when passed as a string to the query. Instead, use MySQL's native date functions to get today's date in the format MySQL expects (yyyy-mm-dd):</p> <p><strong>Edit after comments</strong>:</p> <p>Since you have a unix timestamp rather than a date column, create a Unix timestamp of the date:</p> <pre><code>where user_regdate = UNIX_TIMESTAMP(GETDATE()) </code></pre> <p>A little error checking on the <code>mysql_query()</code> call would have revealed the source of the error in the query, and indeed is necessary to prevent your script from failing fatally.</p> <pre><code>$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `" . $table_prefix . "users` where user_regdate = '" . $date . "'"); if (!$result) { // query failed echo mysql_error(); } else { // all is well, proceed with fetch... } </code></pre> <p>Finally, I note that you're collecting the number of rows into <code>$total++</code>. That is unnecessary (unless you are performing some more specific logic we don't see) because the value is available via <code>mysql_num_rows($result)</code>.</p>

    1. COOk the ` thing got rid of the errors. I have never seen those before. But it is still returning no results. So my guess is that my sql date format is a bunch of numbers. "1283216436". Im guessing that $date = date('Y-m-d'); does not supply these numbers i am needing.

    2. COOk i attempted this instead to fix this $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `" . $table_prefix . "users` where user_regdate = '" . strtotime($date) . "'");. However i still get a date of 1335931200, when i need 1335973416.

    3. CO@alexander7567 Don't use `strtotime()` on the date string. Instead just use `$date = time();` to get a timestamp. Ideally, that column should be changed to hold a proper datetime type instead of a Unix timestamp.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
