Hi all,

I am trying to provide a star sign search so that the user can search for
any given star sign eg Gemini and retrieve all the users who belong to that
sign.

I have a table with all the star signs, in the table are the fields
'Name','From','To'. Both the 'From' and 'To' are an integer of the relevant
dates eg in the 'Gemini' row I have:

Gemini, 521, 621 (521 means May 21st, 621 means June 21st). I hope I'm
explaining my self ok.

Now in the users table I have date of birth stored in the Date format eg;
1979-06-20.

Here is my current stab at this.

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE MONTH(user_data.User_DOB) >= 5
AND DAYOFMONTH(user_data.User_DOB) >= 21
AND MONTH(user_data.User_DOB) <= 6
AND DAYOFMONTH(user_data.User_DOB) <= 21

Obviously this wont work because anyone born, lets say on the 20th will not
fit that criteria.

I've tried other methods but I cant seem to figure out the correct syntax.

I thought using CONCAT may work eg:

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE CONCAT(MONTH(user_data.User_DOB),DAYOFMONTH(user_data.User_DOB))
BETWEEN 521 AND 621

but that doesn't seem to work either.

Can someone help please?

Thanks in advance.
