Laravel how to match 2 values with one field - mysql

Question

Currently I am facing problem that I am using orWhere to get the correct result but not getting the exact result. I want to get result where my field contain only Paid and Flexible
E.g
Status
Paid
Paid
Flexible
Paid
Paid
Flexible
But with this query I am also getting UnPaid but I don't want UnPaid result
$orders = Order::with('orderfiles','orderStatus','orderDelivery','flexibleDelivery')->whereHas('payment', function ($query) {
$query->where("status","=",'Paid')->orwhere('status' ,'=', 'Flexible');
})->whereBetween("tbl_orders.order_date", $range)->where('domain_id','=',$domain_id)->orderBy('order_date','asc')->paginate();
return View('admin.all_orders')
->with('orders',$orders)->with('title','Results - Paid and Flexible Orders')->with('logoNum',$domain_id);
Sql
Array
(
[0] => select count(*) as aggregate from `tbl_orders` where (select count(*) from `tbl_payments` where `tbl_payments`.`order_id` = `tbl_orders`.`order_id` and `status` = ? or `status` = ?) >= 1 and `tbl_orders`.`order_date` between ? and ? and `domain_id` = ?
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Paid
[1] => Flexible
[2] => 2015-01-01
[3] => 2015-05-31
[4] => 18
)
[2] => 7233.41
[3] => mysql
)

Answer 1

I know you’ve already accepted an answer, but it’s really not the best way. You could use Laravel’s whereIn query method:
$query->whereIn('status', ['Paid', 'Flexible']);
The first parameter is the column name, and the second is an array of values you want to match.

Answer 2

Use Db::RAW
for more help read: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/queries
$orders = Order::with('orderfiles','orderStatus','orderDelivery','flexibleDelivery')->whereHas('payment', function ($query) {
$query->where(DB::raw('(`status` = \'Paid\') OR (`status` = \'Flexible\')'));
})->whereBetween("tbl_orders.order_date", $range)->where('domain_id','=',$domain_id)->orderBy('order_date','asc')->paginate();
return View('admin.all_orders')
->with('orders',$orders)->with('title','Results - Paid and Flexible Orders')->with('logoNum',$domain_id);
