Re: How to query for rec's WHERE >= $start_date ?

[Peter Brawley]

Why in the world are there backticks in the date string? Instead of removing them, fix the process that adds them in.

A date value sent to a url as an argument would be something like ...

https://www.myscript.php?arg1=val1&date=2017-12-10

... so myscript.php would have code like this ...

$conn = mysqli_connect( ... );
...
$date = ( isset($_GET['date']) && !empty($_GET['date']) ) ?
        mysqli_real_escape_string( $conn, $_GET['date'] ) : 
        "";
if( strtotime($date)==0 ) exit "Invalid date" );
