I would like to change my question if I may:

Now i've got two tables on one database. "Birthday" and "Events".

My sql query to pull the data out of events is this:


$sql="SELECT * FROM `calendar` WHERE `month`=\"$month\" AND
`year`=\"$year\" ORDER BY `day` asc";


Now In my calendar I'm feeding the month and year variables through
$_GET, so that my users can view future months.IE month=march&year=2020
would allow users to view events posted for March of 2020.

However, the above query will not work for the "birthday" table due to
the fact that the "year" column in the birthday table is set to the year
they were born, and not the "year" being fed in the $_GET. So, i'll
never have a match unless it's the birth year. I need to be able to
select the birthdays every year under the specified birth month. Am I
making any sense at this point? Thanks to anyone that got this far and
can help me out.

Thanks again, Greg
