Question

This method is published as offical example

->where(“price < $minimumPrice OR price > $maximumPrice”)
is such method safe?

want to write it as
->where(“price < ? OR price > ?”, $minimumPrice, $maximumPrice)
are there any poissibility?

and I can’t split it into 2 where statements because plan to write query
->where(“1 OR 2”)
->where(“3 OR 4”)

Answer 1

If I have complex WHERE clauses I use the db adapters’ ->quoteInto() method like:

$where = '('
           . $dbAdapter->quoteInto('price1 < ?', $price1)
           . ' OR '
           . $dbAdapter->quoteInto('price1 > ?', $price1)
       . ')'
       . ' AND '
       . '('
           . $dbAdapter->quoteInto('price2 < ?', $price2)
           . ' OR '
           . $dbAdapter->quoteInto('price2 > ?', $price2)
       . ')'
       ;

$select->where($where);
