Try using:

BETWEEN DATE("now") AND DATE("now", "+6 days");

So, if your table is titled "blogs" and the dates are in a column titled "scheduled_for"..

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM blogs WHERE scheduled_for BETWEEN DATE("now") AND DATE("now", "+6 days");

I want sql to automatically detect the date. Will this work:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM blogs WHERE scheduled_for BETWEEN getdate() AND getdate("+6 days");
