How to grab the last x days in MySQL Table

Hi. I have a very simple task of grabbing the data for the past 7 days. My current query looks like this:
select * from `table` where `date` > CURDATE() -7
This works perfectly well, only when we get to the next month it is not grabbing any day from the previous month. I need to grab the data regardless of what month it is, just the last 7 days. I can't find the right syntax for this.
Thank you in advance!

MySQL has a DATE_SUB function that would work for this. Try this for your where clause:
WHERE `date` > DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 7 DAY)

Your version is close you just need to specify your units (day intervals):
select * from `table` where `date` > CURDATE() - INTERVAL 7 DAY
DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 7 DAY)
and
CURDATE() - INTERVAL 7 DAY
are functionally the same. Also
CURDATE
andCURRENT_DATE
are the same, they just have different names.**Was this post helpful? Click Agree or Like below**
