Question : Date and time span in MySQL

Hi,
I have a filed in my database table called 'newsdate' which contains a unix time of when a news Item is added. I have categorized my menu into Months of a year, so when a user selects $month=4 and $year=2009, I want to enter these two variables into an SQL statement which will return all articles that where entered on the 4th Month of 2009 for example. Can anyone tell me how I may achieve this please?

Thank you in advance

Answer : Date and time span in MySQL

You can use MONTH() and YEAR() functions in MySQL, so
 
SELECT * FROM table WHERE MONTH(newsdate) = 4 AND YEAR(newsdate) = 2010
