title: Selecting entries by date - >= NOW(), MySQL
body: <p>I have a Calendar of Events table and I would like to select events with dates equal to or greater than today. When I use the following SELECT statement, it only retrieves events in the future (> NOW()):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php    
  $db-&gt;query("SELECT * FROM events WHERE event_date &gt;= NOW()");
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I go about selecting all events that are either today or in the future?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
