MySQL: Special Price Scenario

I am working on a hotel booking engine. There is a special price scenario where the customer will see a special price based on the dates the admin defines.

If the date the customer is booking a hotel room falls on the date range specified, the price they will see is what the admin has defined.

So if the admin defines prices for a date rage from 1st Jan to 31st Jan in the following way,

1st Jan 2011 to 15th Jan 2011 = $100 / per day
16th Jan 2011 to 16th Jan 2011 = $500 / per day
17th Jan 2011 to 31st Jan 2011 = $100 / per day

Code:

CREATE TABLE `special_prices` (
  `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `date_start` DATE DEFAULT NULL,
  `date_end` DATE DEFAULT NULL,
  `special_price` DECIMAL(10,2) DEFAULT NULL,
  `status_id` TINYINT(4) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MYISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=4 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1


INSERT INTO `mydb`.`special_prices`(`id`,`date_start`,`date_end`,`special_price`,`status_id`) VALUES ( NULL,'2011-01-1','2011-01-15','100','1');

INSERT INTO `mydb`.`special_prices`(`id`,`date_start`,`date_end`,`special_price`,`status_id`) VALUES ( NULL,'2011-01-16','2011-01-16','500','1');

INSERT INTO `mydb`.`special_prices`(`id`,`date_start`,`date_end`,`special_price`,`status_id`) VALUES (NULL,'2011-01-17','2011-01-31','100','1');

When I run the following query:

Code:

SELECT
  `id`,
  `date_start`,
  `date_end`,
  `special_price`
FROM `special_prices`
WHERE date_start >= '2011-01-12' AND date_end <= '2011-01-18'

The result I get:

Code:

id	date_start	date_end	special_price	
2	2011-01-16	2011-01-16	500.00	

Ideally the query should fetch all the 3 rows since they meet my query. Does anyone of you know why is this happening?


Any help is appreciated.
