Laravel: how to add where clause using query builder?
I have this query, made using Laravel query builder: $rows = DB::table('elements')->where('type', 1); That corresponds to: "SELECT * from elements WHERE type=1" Now, in some cases I need to add a second Where to create a query like this: SELECT * from elements WHERE type=1 AND lang='EN' Using classic php I'd do something like: $sql = 'SELECT * from elements WHERE type=1'; if($var==true) $sql .= " AND lang='EN'"; How can I do that using Laravel Query Builder? Thank you. The Alpha You may try something like this $query = DB::table('elements'); $query->where('some_field', 'some_value'); //
