Grouping WHERE clauses with Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
I need to create something like this:
select name from table where active = 1 AND (name LIKE 'bla' OR description LIKE 'bla')
The first part is easy:
$sqlcmd = $db->select()
->from("table", "name")
->where("active = ?", 1)
Now comes the tricky part. How can I nest? I know that I can just write
->orWhere("name LIKE ? OR description LIKE ?", "bla")
But thats wron, because I need to dynamically change all the parts. The query will be built all the time the script runs. Some parts get deleted, some altered. In this example I need to add those OR-s because sometimes I need to search wider.
"My Zend Logic" tells me that the correct way is like this:
$sqlcmd = $db->select()
->from("table", "name")
->where("active = ?", 1)
->where(array(
$db->select->where("name LIKE ?", "bla"),
$db->select->orWhere("description LIKE ?", "bla")
))
But that doesn't work (atleast I dont remember it working).
Please. Can someone help me to find a object oriented way for nesting "where"-s

Answer 1

Here's an example from the ZF manual
// Build this query:
// SELECT product_id, product_name, price
// FROM "products"
// WHERE (price < 100.00 OR price > 500.00)
// AND (product_name = 'Apple')
$minimumPrice = 100;
$maximumPrice = 500;
$prod = 'Apple';
$select = $db->select()
->from('products',
array('product_id', 'product_name', 'price'))
->where("price < $minimumPrice OR price > $maximumPrice")
->where('product_name = ?', $prod);
It should fit your needs

Answer 2

To build this query:
SELECT product_id, product_name, price
FROM "products"
WHERE (price > 100.00)
AND (price < 500.00)
use this code:
$minimumPrice = 100;
$maximumPrice = 500;
$select = $db->select()
->from('products',
array('product_id', 'product_name', 'price'))
->where('price > ?', $minimumPrice)
->where('price < ?', $maximumPrice);
