CakePHP find condition for a query between two dates
I have a start and an end date in my database and a $date variable from a form field. I am now trying to query all the rows where $date is either = start/end date in the db, or ANY date between those two.
It's kind of the opposite of what is described in the docs of how daysAsSql works. I can't figure out how to get it to work. The following line does not work as a find condition in the controller:
'? BETWEEN ? AND ?' => array($date, 'Item.date_start', 'Item.date_end'),
Any help is greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.
Here is the complete Query and corresponding SQL:
$conditions = array(
'conditions' => array(
'and' => array(
'? BETWEEN ? AND ?' => array($date, 'Item.date_start', 'Item.date_end'),
'Item.title LIKE' => "%$title%",
'Item.status_id =' => '1'
)));
$this->set('items', $this->Item->find('all', $conditions));
WHERE (('2012-10-06' BETWEEN 'Item.date_start' AND 'Item.date_end') AND (`Item`.`title` LIKE '%%') AND (`Item`.`status_id` = 1))

$conditions = array(
'conditions' => array(
'and' => array(
array('Item.date_start <= ' => $date,
'Item.date_end >= ' => $date
),
'Item.title LIKE' => "%$title%",
'Item.status_id =' => '1'
)));
Try the above code and ask if it not worked for you.
Edit: As per @Aryan request, if we have to find users registered between 1 month:
$start_date = '2013-05-26'; //should be in YYYY-MM-DD format
$this->User->find('all', array('conditions' => array('User.reg_date BETWEEN '.$start_date.' AND DATE_ADD('.$start_date.', INTERVAL 30 DAY)')));
