Laravel or where

Question

Currently I am working on a project in Laravel but I am stuck.I want to create a SQL statement like this:

SELECT * FROM SPITems WHERE publisher_id=? AND feed         


        

Answer 1

You can use whereRaw

SPItem::whereRaw(" publisher_id=? AND feed_id=? AND (title LIKE '%?%' OR description LIKE '%?%')", array(?,?,?,?))

Answer 2

Check out the Parameter Grouping section in the docs:

https://laravel.com/docs/master/queries#parameter-grouping

It explains how to group conditions in the WHERE clause.

It should be something like:

if(isset($_GET['search']))
{
    $query = $query->where(function($query){
        $query->where('title', 'like', '%' . $_GET['search'] . '%')
              ->orWhere('description', 'like', '%' . $_GET['search'] . '%');
    });
}
