How to resolve this Laravel Eloquent query and manage it with multiple conditions?

To resolve a Laravel Eloquent query with multiple conditions, you can use the where method multiple times or use the where method with an array of conditions. In this answer, I will provide examples of both methods.

Method 1: Using where method multiple times

Suppose you have a users table with columns name, email, and age. You want to retrieve all users whose name contains "John" and whose age is greater than 25.

$users = App\User::where('name', 'like', '%John%')
            ->where('age', '>', 25)
            ->get();

Method 2: Using where method with an array of conditions

You can also use the where method with an array of conditions to achieve the same result.

$users = App\User::where(function ($query) {
    $query->where('name', 'like', '%John%')
          ->orWhere('age', '>', 25);
})
->get();

In the above example, we are using the where method with a closure and an orWhere method to apply multiple conditions.

You can also use where method with an array of conditions directly as shown below:

$users = App\User::where(function ($query) {
    $query->where(function ($query) {
        $query->where('name', 'like', '%John%')
              ->orWhere('age', '>', 25);
    });
})
->get();

Both methods will return the same result, but the second method may be more readable when dealing with complex queries.

If you have multiple conditions on different columns, you can use the where method multiple times or use the where method with an array of conditions for each column as shown below:

$users = App\User::where(function ($query) {
    $query->where('name', 'like', '%John%')
          ->where('age', '>', 25);
})
->orWhere(function ($query) {
    $query->where('name', 'like', '%Doe%')
          ->where('age', '<', 30);
})
->get();

In the above example, we are using the where method with a closure and an orWhere method to apply multiple conditions for each column. We are also using multiple orWhere conditions to apply multiple conditions on different columns.
