Laravel 4.x, Eloquent multiple conditions - mysql

Question

I've tried to this:
Product::where(['product_id' => $product->id, 'catalog_id' => $key])->first();
This isn't working at all. When I'm doing this:
Product:where('product_id', $product->id)->where('catalog_id', $key)->first();
It just works fine. I've searched in the documentation of Laravel,
and found nothing.
Is there any option to using the where function with an array in it ?

Answer 1

You need to use where() individually. If you want to dynamically building the query you can do something like:
$wheres = array('product_id' => $product->id, 'catalog_id' => $key);
$q = new Product;
foreach ( $wheres as $k => $v ) {
$q = $q->where($k, $v);
}
$products = $q->first();

Answer 2

In fact we were all wrong ;)
As of latest version of the framework you can do exactly what you wanted.
Check this commit and update Laravel if you need that feature.

Answer 3

Product::whereNested(function($query) use ($key, $product){
$query->where('product_id', $product->id);
$query->where('catalog_id', $key);
})->get();

Answer 4

Laravel's wheres use an and condition by default:
$products = Product::where('this','=','that')->where('something','=','hello')->get();
is somewhat equivalent to:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE this = 'that' AND something = 'hello';
You simply chain the ->where() methods together. No need for an array.
If you want to use an or condition:
$products = Product::where('this','=','that')->orWhere('something','=','hello')->get();
