__call()source public

__call( string $method , array $args )

Helps calling the and() and or() methods transparently.

Parameters

string $method

The method name.

array $args

The arguments to pass to the method.

BadMethodCallException

__clone()source public

_calculateType()source protected

_calculateType( string|Cake\Database\Expression\IdentifierExpression $field )

Returns the type name for the passed field if it was stored in the typeMap

Parameters

string|Cake\Database\Expression\IdentifierExpression $field

The field name to get a type for.

Returns

string|null
The computed type or null, if the type is unknown.

_parseCondition()source protected

_parseCondition( string $field , mixed $value )

Parses a string conditions by trying to extract the operator inside it if any and finally returning either an adequate QueryExpression object or a plain string representation of the condition. This function is responsible for generating the placeholders and replacing the values by them, while storing the value elsewhere for future binding.

Parameters

string $field

The value from with the actual field and operator will be extracted.

mixed $value

The value to be bound to a placeholder for the field

Returns

string|Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface

add()source public

add( string|array|Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface $conditions , array $types [] )

Adds one or more conditions to this expression object. Conditions can be expressed in a one dimensional array, that will cause all conditions to be added directly at this level of the tree or they can be nested arbitrarily making it create more expression objects that will be nested inside and configured to use the specified conjunction.

If the type passed for any of the fields is expressed "type[]" (note braces) then it will cause the placeholder to be re-written dynamically so if the value is an array, it will create as many placeholders as values are in it.

Parameters

string|array|Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface $conditions

single or multiple conditions to be added. When using an array and the key is 'OR' or 'AND' a new expression object will be created with that conjunction and internal array value passed as conditions.

array $types optional []

associative array of fields pointing to the type of the values that are being passed. Used for correctly binding values to statements.

Returns

$this

See

\Cake\Database\Query::where() for examples on conditions

Parameters

array|Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface $conditions

The conditions to test. Must be a ExpressionInterface instance, or an array of ExpressionInterface instances.

array|Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface $values optional []

associative array of values to be associated with the conditions passed in $conditions. If there are more $values than $conditions, the last $value is used as the ELSE value

array $types optional []

associative array of types to be associated with the values passed in $values

Returns

$this
