Hi, I want to use the array syntax for passing the WHERE clause in Orm::find but I can't figure out how to get ORs in there. Can any one tell me how I have to build the array to get something like:

(A = 1 OR A = 3) AND active = true

Thanks!

Works just like the DB query builder:

Model_Example::query()->where_open()
        ->where('A', '=', 1)
        ->or_where('B', '=', 2)
    ->where_close()
    ->where('C', '=', 3)
    ->get();

Thanks for your reply. I need to be able to build the query up. Looking at the code it looked to me like something like this should work but I didn't have any luck.

$where = array(
   'or' => array(
          array('A',1),
          array('A',3),
   );

What is the correct way to go about building the where cause at run time? Thanks

The model methods return themselfs so you can chain. Nobody's saying you should do that all in one go

// this is the same as
Model_Example::query()
    ->where_open()
        ->where('A', '=', 1)
        ->or_where('B', '=', 2)
     ->where_close()
     ->where('C', '=', 3)
     ->get();

// this...
$q = Model_Example::query();

$q->where_open()
        ->where('A', '=', 1)
        ->or_where('B', '=', 2)
     ->where_close();

$q->where('C', '=', 3);

$q->get();

I see. Thank you very much!
