I am a Laravel newbie so I don't understand why this query is giving me only one user result instead of all entries containing posts.title or posts.description. This should be a search expression (%for%) and use the specific category (get).
DB::table('posts')
->join('users', 'users.id', '=', 'posts.user_id')
->join('locations', 'users.id', '=', 'locations.id')
->join('main_categories', 'main_categories.id', '=', 'posts.main_category_id')
->select('posts.*', 'users.*', 'locations.address', 'main_categories.name as cat', DB::raw('ROUND((6371 * ACOS(COS(RADIANS(31.430443800000003)) * COS(RADIANS(locations.lattitude)) * COS(RADIANS(locations.longitude) - RADIANS(74.280726)) + SIN(RADIANS(31.430443800000003)) * SIN(RADIANS(locations.lattitude)))),2) AS DISTANCE'))
->where([['posts.title','like','%for%'],['main_categories.name', '=', 'get']])
->orwhere([['posts.description','like','%for%'],['main_categories.name', '=', 'get']])
->get();
I am trying to convert this MySQL query into Laravel format. This MySQL query gives me 3 rows, 2 of one user and 1 row of another user. But in Laravel I only get one user row.
SELECT
posts.title,
posts.description,
posts.sub_category_id,
posts.image,
posts.created_at,
posts.main_category_id,
posts.user_id,
locations.address,
ROUND(
(
6371 * ACOS(
COS(RADIANS(31.430443800000003)) * COS(RADIANS(locations.lattitude)) * COS(
RADIANS(locations.longitude) - RADIANS(74.280726)
) + SIN(RADIANS(31.430443800000003)) * SIN(RADIANS(locations.lattitude))
)
),
2
) AS DISTANCE
FROM
posts
INNER JOIN
users ON posts.user_id = users.id
INNER JOIN
locations ON users.location_id = locations.id
INNER JOIN
main_categories ON main_categories.id = posts.main_category_id
WHERE
(
(
posts.title LIKE '%for%' OR posts.description LIKE '%for%'
) AND(main_categories.name = 'Get')
)
You use invalid join in your Laravel query. Instead of
->join('locations', 'users.id', '=', 'locations.id')
it should be
->join('locations', 'users.location_id', '=', 'locations.id')
because in your raw query you use:
INNER JOIN
locations ON users.location_id = locations.id
