In mySQL, I would like to return a count of the records that have a start_date within the current year (as in the year 2012, NOT within the last one year time period) and (as a separate query) a count of the records from the previous year (2011 in the case as it is now).
My start dates are stored thus: 2012-12-02. I am using PHP.
Help on how I would form these queries would be hugely appreciated.

Use the YEAR() function to retrieve the year value from a date/datetime/timestamp column in MySQL. This function takes only one argument – a date or date and time. This can be the name of a date/datetime/timestamp column or an expression returning one of those data types.
Just run these SQL queries one by one to get the specific element of your current date/time: Current year: SELECT date_part('year', (SELECT current_timestamp)); Current month: SELECT date_part('month', (SELECT current_timestamp)); Current day: SELECT date_part('day', (SELECT current_timestamp));
The CURDATE() function returns the current date. Note: The date is returned as "YYYY-MM-DD" (string) or as YYYYMMDD (numeric). Note: This function equals the CURRENT_DATE() function.
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM TABLE1
WHERE YEAR(START_DATE) = YEAR(CURDATE());
