select with DATE_FORMAT( )

Dear all

I'm quite new to mysql. My aim is to select a date format field by
returning only the month and day number of it (e.g. date = 11 12). I
got this statement and I could not get out how to get rid of the
error:

SELECT `email`, `raum`, DATE_FORMAT('date',`%c %d`) as date FROM
`logger`;

#1054 - Unknown column '%c %d' in 'field list'


Is there a way to mascade `%c %d` so that mysql does not get it as a
field?


thanks in advance doc scsi

Yeah -- don't enclose it in backticks. It's a string, not a column
name. Use single quotes instead.

For MySQL questions, ask in a MySQL newsgroup - such as
comp.databases.mysql.

This newsgroup is for PHP questions.
