Hello XOOPSian

can you help me with this query

i would like to show todays event manually using the query below outside of xoops..currently testing this in localhost inside XOOPS

event_start is stored as integer eg 1306112400

$time = time(); 
//echo $time;
$today=date("d/m/Y", strval($time));
//echo $today;

global  $xoopsDB;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $xoopsDB->prefix('extcal_event') . "  WHERE DATE_FORMAT(event_start, '%d/%m/%Y')='$today' ORDER BY event_start";


The code is not working at the moment, can you guys help me..Please

Maybe you can try something like this
$time = time();  
$today = date("d/m/Y", strval($time)); 

global  $xoopsDB; 
$result = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT * FROM " . $xoopsDB->prefix('extcal_event') );
if ($result===false) {
    die($xoopsDB->error()); 
} 
while ($row = $xoopsDB->fetchArray($result)) { 
    if ((date('d/m/Y', $row['event_start'])) == $today){
      echo $row['event_title'];
    }
}

I think what you want is to replace the last 3 lines with the following:

if ($row['event_start'] <= $time && $time <= $row['event_end']) { 
  echo $row['event_title']; 
}


This compares the numeric value of today, the starting time and the ending time. Your previous attempt compares the formatted date string, which isn't what you want.

//if ((date('d/m/Y', $row['event_start'])) == $today OR (date('d/m/Y', $row['event_end'])) == $today){

you need to change the order of the first part of your code to this
global  $xoopsDB;  
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $xoopsDB->prefix('extcal_event') . " ";   
$result = $xoopsDB->query($sql);
if ($result===false) {   
    die($xoopsDB->error());    
}
