How do I get elements using getCriteria from a specific date?

Question

I'm trying to get elements in a section created on a specific date. How do I do that?

This is what I've been trying with:

$criteria               = craft()->elements->getCriteria(ElementType::Entry);
$criteria->section  = 'sectionHandle';
$criteria->postDate     = '2014-11-04';

Answer 1

Something like this should work:

$criteria = craft()->elements->getCriteria(ElementType::Entry);
$criteria->section  = 'sectionHandle';
$criteria->postDate = array('and', '> 2014-11-03 23:59:59', '< 2014-11-05 00:00:00');
$results = $criteria->find();
