How to add multiple where clause on Eloquent ORM Laravel?

Question

Having a hard time here trying to retrieve specific records where I need the ID and the Date to match, here is my code:

      $testq= DB::table('attendances')->where('user_id', '=', $userinput && 'logon', '=', $newdate)->get();

Solution 1

Just add one more where.

$testq= DB::table('attendances')
    ->where('user_id', '=', $userinput)
    ->where('logon', '=', $newdate)
    ->get();

http://laravel.com/api/4.2/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Builder.html#method_where

$this where(string $column, string $operator = null, mixed $value = null, string $boolean = 'and')

Add a basic where clause to the query.

Solution 2

As an addition to @sectus's answer, you might like this syntax:

$testq= DB::table('attendances')->whereUserId($userinput)
                                ->whereLogon($newdate)
                                ->get();

excuse me for asking you one more, but can you tell me how to use if statement and determine if the record exist? 'if($testq exists)' ?

[sectus]

@jakebalba, you could check $testq->count() laravel.com/api/4.2/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/…

[jake balba]

so it will be like this ? 'if ($testq->count()<1)' sorry newbie here

[sectus]

@jakebalba, you have wrote the code - do not ask - test it. Test takes less time than asking : )

[sectus]

@jakebalba, add one more question with your code and attemps

[jake balba]

Still have another problem sir, I think the code is just using 'OR' and not 'AND'

How about when you want to retrieve all the values (and including NULL) except one. In My case I don't get the NULL rows. For example, ->where('country_id','!=',120) But I don't get the NULL values. How do I fix this? -> I just found out by adding ->orWhereNull('country_id') ;)
