I have a DATETIME field that I am looking for rows that just match the
date. What is the easy way?

I thought SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE DATE(time-date-field) = ... but
no go...

Try quoting the target date, as in
SELECT * from some_table WHERE DATE(time-date-field) = '2014-01-01';

Here's an example from something I'm working on...

mysql> select recipe_name, recipe_date from recipe where date(recipe_date)
= '2014-04-14';
+--------------------+---------------------+
| recipe_name | recipe_date |
+--------------------+---------------------+
| Beef and Corn Bake | 2014-04-14 20:27:13 |
+--------------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select recipe_name, recipe_date from recipe where date(recipe_date)
= '2014-04-03';
+---------------------+---------------------+
| recipe_name | recipe_date |
+---------------------+---------------------+
| Coffee Rubbed Steak | 2014-04-03 09:14:20 |
+---------------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Have you seen the doctor about this problem, or has your brain already
been amputated?

What OS?
What version of PHP?
What database?

and so on.

I thought this was a php newsgroup, you seem to have confused it with
comp.databases.[something] or possibly alt.php.sql

Do you really think it makes a difference?

Indeed. I sent this off when quickly when I had company at the door. It
should have gone elsewhere. My bad. I did not know of alt.php.sql, I
intended comp.databases.mysql

Thanks. That works. I'd left out the dashes (in my php date code) when I
changed to DATETIME. Just knowing I had the sql syntax correct was
enough to put me on the right track.

This would be better:
SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE time-date-field between '2014-04-20' and
date('2014-04-20') + INTERVAL 1 DAY;


Because your database can make use of the index you defined on that
field.....
