Laravel eloquent orm query using orwhere clause

Question

Hi I have been using this query to retrieve data based on orWhere clause

$q->where('created', $date);
$q->where(function ($query) {
  $query->where('gender', 'Male')
        ->where('age', '>=', 18);
})->orWhere(function($query) {
  $query->where('gender', 'Female')
        ->where('age', '>=', 30);   
})->orWhere(function($query) {
  $query->where('gender', 'Orthodox')
        ->where('age', '>=', 35);

first orWhere clause is working perfectly, however 2nd isnt. It seems to be a scope issue, ie something with ()

Answer 1

Group your conditions properly and it should be fine.

$q->where('created', $date);
$q->where(function ($query) {
    $query->where(function ($query) {
        $query->where('gender', 'Male')
            ->where('age', '>=', 18);
    })->orWhere(function ($query) {
        $query->where('gender', 'Female')
            ->where('age', '>=', 30);
    })->orWhere(function ($query) {
        $query->where('gender', 'Orthodox')
            ->where('age', '>=', 35);
    });
});

Use an additional where() closure:

$q->where('created', $date);
$q->where(function ($q) {
     $q->orWhere(function($query) {
        $query->where('gender', 'Male')
            ->where('age', '>=', 18);
     })->orWhere(function($query) {
        $query->where('gender', 'Female')
            ->where('age', '>=', 30);   
     })->orWhere(function($query) {
        $query->where('gender', 'Orthodox')
            ->where('age', '>=', 35);
     });
});
