The query's returning the exact opposite of your function, so if you have
301 rows in your table and the function returns you 1, the query'll get 300
:)
select user, descripcion from client where login not in (select
distinct(usr_cliente) from conexion where fecha between '$date_begin' and
'$date_end') order by user"
is equivalent to:
select user, descripcion from client where login not in (select
list('$date_begin', '$date_end'))
PS: a misused "not in" clause can result in very poor performances (it
depends actually of your table contents) : if "everything that is not ..."
is huge, it's quicker to get "everything that is ..." :)
