I'm trying to search with a keyword but only in the rows where business_type is manufacturer but it's not working and it's getting all the rows. This is the method in my model:
public function search($keyword) {
$this->db->like('category',$keyword);
$this->db->or_like('keyword',$keyword);
$this->db->or_like('products_deals_with',$keyword);
$this->db->or_like('buisness_name',$keyword);
$params['conditions'] = array(
'business_type' => 'manufacturer'
);
$query = $this->db->get_where('business_listings', $params['conditions']);
return $query->result_array();
}
Generated query is:
SELECT * FROM `business_listings`
WHERE `category` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR `keyword` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR `products_deals_with`LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR `buisness_name` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
AND `business_type` = 'manufacturer'
I've found the solution. I've to use $this->db->group_start(); and $this->db->group_end();
public function search($keyword) {
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->where("business_type = 'manufacturer'");
$this->db->group_start();
$this->db->like('category',$keyword);
$this->db->or_like('keyword',$keyword);
$this->db->or_like('products_deals_with',$keyword);
$this->db->or_like('buisness_name',$keyword);
$this->db->group_end();
$query = $this->db->get('business_listings');
// echo $this->db->last_query();
return $query->result_array();
}
Generated Query:
SELECT * FROM `business_listings`
WHERE `business_type` = 'manufacturer'
AND (
`category` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR `keyword` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR `products_deals_with` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR `buisness_name` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!' )
