    <p>I am trying to do a query into a database to return a report with php. I am using duplicate pages as they both are pulling from the same database/tables. </p> <p>The specific error I receive is: </p> <p>Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Syntax error converting datetime from character string.</p> <p>This query works and returns the desired data:</p> <p><strong>REMOVED SELECT STATEMENT PER COMPANY POLICY</strong></p> <p>This query however, does not work:</p> <p><strong>REMOVED SELECT STATEMENT PER COMPANY POLICY</strong></p> <p>I changed the DateUpdated to DateAdded in the cast portion. The Date/Time are obtained from a Java date picker script. Everything on the two pages are exact, except for the sql query. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I am fairly new to PHP and so I am learning as I go.</p> <p>I have tried searching but I do not understand what I should do.</p> <p>I have these declared from the picker....</p> <pre><code>$startunix = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($startdate)); $startunixmn = date("Y-m-d 23:59:59", strtotime($startdate)); $endunix = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($enddate)); $endunixmn = date("Y-m-d 23:59:59", strtotime($enddate)); </code></pre> <p>and within the sql query, in place of the dates/times that are showing in the statement, they have $startunix and $endunixm for the two dates/times. Are you not allowed to change what is in the cast? I thought you would be able to, because both columns are dates in the format 010109 (mmddyy). SO I figured if you change the DateUpdated to DateAdded (titles of the two columns) then the query should work, just based off of the date range selected for DateAdded instead of DateUpdated.</p> <p>Any help or insight would be hugely appreciated. If you need more info, please ask and I will do my best to provide what I can.</p>

    1. COYou might have better luck if you limit the scope of your problem. It sounds like the root of your question lies in forming a proper query. If you ask a question about that, the answer will tell you how to write your php to get your datepicker to work. You should also specify/tag which database you're using so more people see it. Sounds like sqlserver.

    2. COCan you check if you have any strange values for DateAdded? It's likely that the problem is parsing one of those `(cast(LEFT(DateAdded, 2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(DateAdded, 3, 2) + '/20' + RIGHT(DateAdded, 2) AS datetime))` segments.

    3. CO@Mike B : Yeah it is sqlserver (sorry about the tagging, my first time asking a question on here). I don't think there is anything wrong with the query, because it works with DateUpdated in the cast() portion of the statement, it just doesn't like being changed to DateAdded (different date column in the table).

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.
