How to write this query with codeigniter?

How to write select query with between similar to this with active record?

SELECT * FROM test_tbl WHERE date BETWEEN '$start' and '$end' ORDER BY ID 

Re开发者_运维技巧gards

AFAIK, there's no built-in support for BETWEEN

You can do this instead

$this->db->where("date BETWEEN '$start' AND '$end'");
$this->db->get("test_tbl");  

Or write a helper function that look like this

function where_between($field, $min, $max){
     $CI = get_instance();
     return $CI->db->where("`$field` BETWEEN '$min' AND '$max'");
}  

Later on, you can use that function by calling it like where_between('test_tbl', $start, $end)
