I have a project on going for a TV guide, called mytvguide in the database - I use PHPMyAdmin. This is the structure for one table, which is called tvshow1:

Field       Type             
channel     varchar(255)             
date        date    No               
airdate     time    No               
expiration  time    No               
episode     varchar(255)     
setreminder varchar(255)    

but am not sure how to get DATE, TIME to work with the pagination script (below is the script, which works for the version with DATETIME): http://pastebin.com/6S1ejAFJ

However, although the DATETIME one works - it shows programmes that air on the day itself like this:

Programme 1 showing on Channel 1 2:35pm "Episode 2" Set Reminder
Programme 1 showing on Channel 1 May 26th - 12:50pm "Episode 3" Set Reminder
Programme 1 showing on Channel 1 May 26th - 5:55pm "Episode 3" Set Reminder

but I'm not quite sure how to replicate that for the fields that use DATE, TIME functions as seen above.

Any advice on this is appreciated, thanks!
