Closed 6 years ago.
I wanted to find out a way to write the following code into cakephp find() method but the didn't find related resource on the cakebook.
my code is
SELECT * FROM Customers
WHERE
(Country='Germany' AND City='München')
OR (Country='Germany' AND CustomerName='München');
please share a way to write this accordingly in find() method. Thanks

Answer 1

You can do this using the OR key when using where:
$query = $this->Customers
->find()
->where([
'OR' => [
[
'City' => 'München',
'Country' => 'Germany'
],
[
'Country' => 'Germany',
'CustomerName' => 'München'
]
]
]);
This could be simplified to:
$query = $this->Customers
->find()
->where([
'Country' => 'Germany',
'OR' => [
['City' => 'München'],
['CustomerName' => 'München']
]
]);
See http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/query-builder.html#advanced-conditions, I find using the andWhere and orWhere functions in combination so just stick to where!

Answer 2

Try
$query = $this->Customers->find(
'all',
[
'conditions' => [
'Country' => 'Germany',
'OR' => [
[
'City' => 'München',
],
[
'CustomerName' => 'München'
]
]
]
]
);
In the cookbook it says to wrap the or conditions in arrays if they are pertaining to the same field http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#complex-find-conditions

Answer 3

If you want to paginate results you can try this:
public function yourFunctionName() {
$this->paginate['conditions']['and'][] = ['Country' => 'Germany'];
$this->paginate['conditions']['and']['or'][] = ['City' => 'München'];
$this->paginate['conditions']['and']['or'][] = ['CustomerName' => 'München'];
$customers = $this->paginate($this->Customers);
$this->set(compact('customers'));
$this->set('_serialize', ['customers']);
}
