PHP, MySQL and a Blog Archive

Alright then, I am having a problem that may seem trivial to the experts out there but it is really annoying me, and I am not sure what too doad.

So, heres the problem. I have designed a blog script, comment system and ACP (admin control panel) for my rather simple site as a test of what I can do: http://www.entrai.com/

I plan to create an archive script for but I am suck on what code to use, the only mysqlIi know is what I have learn't directly through php books, so it's not very indepth.

My code so far is:

<?php

include('db_connect.php');

$date = $_POST['date'] // format YYYYMM i.e. 200502

$archive_query = 'SELECT * FROM entai_blogs WHERE...';

?>

That's all I can think of, is their anyway that somebody can suggest to use a YYYYMM format string too select that year and month from a table that has a blogDate field in the format YYYY-MM-DD?

I doubt it's that hard but I will give 500 points for anybody that can help.

As to better understand the calculation of the last day of the month, read this:
