How to use LIKE OR operator using cakephp & mysql

Question

I am new to cakephp & don\'t know what is the syntax to use LIKE & OR operator in cakephp with mysql.

Can anyone help me? T

Answer 1

you can use: for "like"

$this->Post->find("all",array('condition'=>array('Author LIKE'=>"ad%")));

above query will give You the data from table posts where author name starts with "ad".

for "OR"

$this->Post->find("all",array('condition'=>array("OR"=>array('Author LIKE'=>"ad%",'Post LIKE'=>"bo%"))));

above query will give You the data from table posts where author name starts with "ad" OR Post starts with "bo".
