How to handle nested conditional queries with Laravel's Eloquent in PHP 8.1?
I've been working on this all day and I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm confused about I'm refactoring my project and This might be a silly question, but This might be a silly question, but I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer..... I'm trying to build a complex query using Laravel's Eloquent ORM that involves multiple nested conditions. The goal is to filter users based on their roles and the status of their subscriptions. Here's what I have so far: ```php $users = User::query() ->where('role', 'admin') ->orWhere(function ($query) { $query->where('role', 'member') ->whereExists(function ($subQuery) { $subQuery->select(DB::raw(1)) ->from('subscriptions') ->whereColumn('subscriptions.user_id', 'users.id') ->where('subscriptions.status', 'active'); }); }) ->get(); ``` However, I'm working with unexpected results. For instance, I'm seeing users who are neither admins nor have an active subscription as part of the result set. The SQL generated seems off, and I'm not quite sure if I'm handling the logic correctly. To troubleshoot, I dumped the SQL query using: ```php $users->toSql(); ``` And it outputs: ``` select * from `users` where `role` = 'admin' or exists (select 1 from `subscriptions` where `subscriptions`.`user_id` = `users`.`id` and `subscriptions`.`status` = 'active') ``` I can see that the query looks fine, but I'm not getting the expected results in the application. I've also tried using `toSql()` to debug, but it is still unclear where the logic might be going wrong. How can I ensure that the query fetches only the intended users? Is there a better way to structure these nested conditions in Eloquent, or should I be considering raw SQL for this case? Any insights would be appreciated! I'm working on a service that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! This is my first time working with Php LTS. Any feedback is welcome! This is for a desktop app running on macOS. I'm developing on Windows 10 with Php. This issue appeared after updating to Php 3.11. I'm open to any suggestions.
