Question
I would like to write a query in Doctrine Mongo ODM that searches by regex in two or more fields. In SQL it would look like:
SELECT * FROM user WHERE name LIKE %search% OR surname LIKE %search%;
I can write a query for one field like this:
$qb->field('surname')->equals(new \MongoRegex('/.*'.$this->search.'.*/i'));
but I'm at a loss when i try to search in more fields.
Thanks for any help
Solution
well actually it is quite simple, i found out 5 mins after posting this question
$qb->addOr($qb->expr()->field('surname')->equals(new \MongoRegex('/.*'.$this->search.'.*/i')));
$qb->addOr($qb->expr()->field('name')->equals(new \MongoRegex('/.*'.$this->search.'.*/i')));
OTHER TIPS
You need to use the $or operator. I'm not sure how this is done in doctrine but you are looking for the equivalent of this in the shell:
db.people.find({ $or: [{surname: /^regex1/}, {surname: /^regex2/}] })
