Laravel - SELECT all from table with the result from previous SELECT

Question

I'm trying to perform the following query in Laravel but have had trouble working out the DB class and Eloquent classes. I would like to do something like the following..

$week = DB::select('SELECT week FROM calendar WHERE year = 2015 and month = 01 and day = 30'); $secondResult = DB::select("SELECT * FROM calendar WHERE year = 2015 and week = $week"); return View::make('calendar')->with('weekdays',$secondResult);

Answer 1

Try this..

$week = DB::select('SELECT week FROM calendar WHERE year = 2015 and month = 01 and day = 30');
     foreach ($week as $weekvalue)
{
   echo  $weekname=$weekvalue->week;
}

$secondResult = DB::select("SELECT * FROM calendar WHERE year = 2015 and week = $weekname");
return View::make('calendar')->with('weekdays',$secondResult);
