Hi guys, I'm having trouble with this PHP function. It keeps returning zero, but I know the SQL statement works because I've queried it myself. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The last line makes no sense to me...I'm editing this code that someone else wrote. This function should return a number in the hundreds, assuming the date is in March. Thanks!

    function getCountBetweenDays($day1,$day2,$service)

{

    global $conn;

    if ($service==1){

$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as NUM FROM `items` WHERE `modified` BETWEEN '$day1 00:00:00' AND '$day2 23:59:59';";}



    elseif($service==2){

$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as NUM FROM `items` WHERE `modified` BETWEEN '$day1 00:00:00' AND '$day2 23:59:59';";}



        elseif($service==3){

$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as NUM FROM `items` WHERE `modified` BETWEEN '$day1 00:00:00' AND '$day2 23:59:59';";}

$result = mysql_query($query,$conn);

  $num = mysql_fetch_array ($result);

  return $num['NUM'];

}
