Monks, I'm querying a database trying to find records added within 30, 60, or 90 days. I have a form where the user picks the timeframe, and the query works:

SELECT * FROM database WHERE (TO_DAYS(dateadded)-TO_DAYS(Now())>=-30) 
+ ORDER BY dateadded DESC, ID DESC
[download]

We're showing 20 results at a time, so I embed the query into a "NEXT" link but this code doesn't work in a string:

/search.pl?searchtextterms=&andor=AND&search=yes&state=(TO_DAYS(datead
+ded)-TO_DAYS(Now())%3E=-30)&currentpage=2
[download]

I'm not sure how to get around this. The less than sign doesn't translate into the string. Any help would be appreciated. UPDATE: Never mind. I figured it out. Duh.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
