xPDOQuery::orCondition

Add an OR condition to the WHERE statement in the query.

Syntax

void orCondition ( $conditions, [ $binding = null], [ $group = 0])

Example

Grab all boxes with width 12 or 14.

$query = $xpdo->newQuery('Box');
$query->where(array(
   'width' => 14,
));
$query->orCondition(array(
   'width' => 12,
));
$boxes = $xpdo->getCollection('Box',$query);

Warning

The order you call the functions is important! The orCondition must come after the where method has been used.

Another Example

Here's a more familiar example used to retrieve pages when they've got publish/unpublish dates set. This demonstrates an alternative syntax for an or condition. Normally, each place in the array supplied to the where method is joined together by a SQL "AND", but you can use the "OR" prefix on your column names to specify how groups of terms are joined together.

In the following example, a page must be published (1), and the pub_date must be either zero OR less than or equal to the current timestamp. The unpub_date must be either zero OR greater than current timestamp.

$criteria = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$criteria->where(array(
        'published' => 1,
                array(
                        'pub_date' => 0,
                        'OR:pub_date:<=' => time(),
                ),
                array(
                        'unpub_date' => 0,
                        'OR:unpub_date:>' => time(),
                ),
        )
);

Example With Joined Tables

Your filter parameters can reference fields in other tables.

$query = $modx->newQuery('modUser');
$query->innerJoin('modUserProfile','Profile');
$query->where(array(
   'modUser.username' => $email,
));
$query->orCondition(array(
   'Profile.email' => $email,
));
$user = $modx->getObject('modUser', $query);

The filter parameters may use the class name (as in modUser above) or the alias (as the Profile above).
