SELECT MySQL rows where today's date is between two DATE columns

You can add a condition as follows

DATE(NOW()) between date1 and date2

You will find a lot of people using between operator, but I prefer using a simple AND operator.

I do that because although the between operator IS inclusive, simple dates (2012-04-10) can be counted as being midnight, and will thus not be inclusive.

So this should work just fine and will always include the boundaries of the date range:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE from_date <= '2012-04-10' AND to_date >= '2012-04-10'

Just use the SQL now() function to compare the date columns like so:

SELECT * from table where now() >= from_date and now() <= to_date
