Laravel Eloquent model query

Question

I Want To Achieve the right query in laravel if anyone can help

I have This query

SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE ((`is_verified` = 1) AND (`first_name` like '%%' or `middle_name` like '%%' or `last_name` like '%%' or `email` like '%%'))

and i have this in my code

$user->where([
                ['is_verified', '=', 1]
            ])
                ->where('first_name', 'like', "%$search%")
                ->orWhere('middle_name', 'like', "%$search%")
                ->orWhere('last_name', 'like', "%$search%")
                ->orWhere('email', 'like', "%$search%");

but it produces

SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE ((`is_verified` = '1') and `first_name` like '%%' or `middle_name` like '%%' or `last_name` like '%%' or `email` like '%%') 

Answer 1

You have to use an anonymous function in a "closure-where" clause.

$user->where([
                ['is_verified', '=', 1]
            ])->where(function ($query) use ($search) {
                $query->where('first_name', 'like', "%$search%")
                ->orWhere('middle_name', 'like', "%$search%")
                ->orWhere('last_name', 'like', "%$search%")
                ->orWhere('email', 'like', "%$search%");
});

Answer 2

you must use anonymous function like following code:

User::where(function ($query){
        $query->where('is_verified', 1);
    })->where(function ($query) use ($search) {
        $query->where('first_name', 'like', "%$search%")
        ->orWhere('middle_name', 'like', "%$search%")
        ->orWhere('middle_name', 'like', "%$search%")
        ->orWhere('email', 'like', "%$search%");
    })->toSql();
