Answer 1

If your created column type is int then just try this one

created<= UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE_ADD(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 5 DAY))')

Answer 2

To get records between a date span, use:

WHERE created BETWEEN NOW() AND DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 DAY)

This example will get you records (assuming any exist for today, including time) for between today and days into the future. Look at DATE_SUB if you want to go into the past.

Answer 3

WHERE created <= NOW() AND created >=NOW() - INTERVAL 5 DAY

or it would be better to compare just DATE part of datetime:

WHERE DATE(created) <= date(NOW()) AND 
  DATE(created) >= DATE(NOW() - INTERVAL 5 DAY)
