This work perfect:
public function scopeHBO($query)
{
return $query ->where('network', '=', "hbo");
}
Call in Controller: It Works!
$events = Schedule::HBO()->orderBy('searchdate')->get();
When I add another Query Scope like so:
public function scopeHBO($query)
{
return $query
->where('network', '=', "hbo")
->where('searchdate', '>=', 'NOW()');
}
OR:
public function scopeDate($query)
{
return $query->where('searchdate', '>= ', 'NOW()');
}
Then call in the controller:
$events = Schedule::HBO()->Date()->orderBy('searchdate')->get();
I get an error: Undefined variable: event. I tried with with Raw MySql in the same model and it works. Whenever i add a query scope, does not matter what it is.. i get that same error Undefined variable: event.
NOW()
is a function, so you need to use a raw query:
where('searchdate', '>=', DB::raw('NOW()'))
Then you can use the scopes. (Do note that I think scopeDate
must be called as date()
, not Date()
- not 100 % sure on that though.)
This sounds less like a generic problem with Laravel, and more like a problem with you specific application.
My guess (which is a wild guess), is that adding that second where clause in your scope method
return $query
->where('network', '=', "hbo")
->where('searchdate', '>=', 'NOW()');
ended up creating a SQL query that returned 0 rows. Then, somewhere in your other code you're doing something like
foreach($events as $event)
{
//...
}
//referencing final $event outside of loop
if($event) { ... }
As I said, this is a wild guess, but the problem doesn't seem to be your query code, the problem seems to be the rest of your code that relies on the query returning a certain number of, or certain specific, rows/objects.
