    HI,

    I am having problem in comparing dates.

    $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE date > '07/01/2007' and date < '07/30/2007' order by id desc ";

    What is the problem in the query?

    When dealing with date or time ranges you should use "BETWEEN" not "> and <"

    where date BETWEEN 'start_date' and 'end_date'
