Look at this:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/date-and-time-functions.html

you can use CURDATE(), DATE_ADD() and DATE_SUB() to make date interval

Within your sql you could try something like the following:

select * from people where birthdate>='10/01/2010' AND birthdate<='30/01/2010';

if you want to get more specific with months and days then you can utilise the month(birthdate) and day(birthdate) functions in mysql;

select * from people where month(birthdate)=10;

would return all your people where the month for birthdate is October.
