Question

I am trying to build the following SQL statement:

SELECT `users_table`.*, `users_data`.`first_name`, `users_data`.`last_name`
FROM `users_table`
INNER JOIN `users_data` ON users_table.id = user_id
WHERE (users_table.username LIKE '%sc%')
OR (users_data.first_name LIKE '%sc%')
OR (users_data.last_name LIKE '%sc%')

I have the following code at the moment:

public function findAllUsersLike($like) {
    $select = $this - > select(Zend_Db_Table::SELECT_WITH_FROM_PART) - > setIntegrityCheck(false);
    $select - > where('users_table.username LIKE ?', '%'.$like.'%');
    $select - > where('users_data.first_name LIKE ?', '%'.$like.'%');
    $select - > where('users_data.last_name LIKE ?', '%'.$like.'%');
    $select - > join('users_data', 'users_table.id = user_id', array('first_name', 'last_name'));
    return $this - > fetchAll($select);
}

This is close, but not right as it uses AND to add the extra WHERE statements, instead of OR.

Is there any way to do this as one select? Or should I perform 3 selects and combine the results (alot more overhead?)?

P.S. The parameter $like that is past is sanitized so don’t need to wory about user input in the code above!

Answer 1

public function findAllUsersLike($like) {
    $select = $this->select(Zend_Db_Table::SELECT_WITH_FROM_PART)->setIntegrityCheck(false);
    $select->orWhere('users_table.username LIKE ?', '%'.$like.'%');
    $select->orWhere('users_data.first_name LIKE ?', '%'.$like.'%');
    $select->orWhere('users_data.last_name LIKE ?', '%'.$like.'%');
    $select->join('users_data', 'users_table.id = user_id', array('first_name', 'last_name'));
    return $this->fetchAll($select);
}
