How is your date formatted in the database.

Compare that to the format returned by getdate(), then consider using
date('Y-m-d'). That's assuming your MySQL date is stored as yyyy-mm-dd.

Nonetheless, this should set you on the right road.

It would also have helped your diagnosis if you echoed your SQL statement.
