SugarQuery build up queryOr in a for loop - sugarcrm

Question

I am trying to build up a queryOr based on a comma separated list that is passed in by the user that I will loop over and add the values.
So far I got this which just builds it:
$query = new SugarQuery();
$query->from(BeanFactory::getBean('rdwrk_Request'));
$skills = $query->join('rdwrk_request_skills_rdwrk_request', array('alias' => 'skills'))->joinName();
$query->select(array(array('name', 'requestName'), array('skills.name', 'skillName')));
if($args["requestName"])
{
$requestName = $args["requestName"];
if(strpos($requestName, ',') !== false)
{
$requestNames = explode(",", $requestName);
foreach($requestNames as $name)
{
$query->where()->queryOr()->contains('name', $name);
}
}
else
{
$query->where()->contains('name', $requestName);
}
}
if($args["skillName"])
{
$query->where()->contains('skills.name', args["skillName"]);
}
$results = $query->execute();
Is there any way to build it so all the values I loop over go into the same queryOr?

Answer 1

You can set the current SugarQuery object into its own variable, and then feed it through your loop as follows:
$currentQuery = $query->where()->queryOr();
foreach($requestNames as $name)
{
$currentQuery->contains('name', $name);
}
This calls the contains function on the same query object with the queryOr established. Since the $currentQuery variable references the same SugarQuery object, running $query->execute() later on will include the parameters.
