I'm trying to add a condition as active is not qual to 1, but I can't figure it out how it's working correctly in my query.
Here is my query
$career_solutions_data = DB::select("
SELECT
career_solutions.id,
role_users.role_id,
career_solutions.user_id,
career_solutions.subject,
career_solutions.date,
career_solutions.public,
career_solutions.views,
career_solutions.optional,
career_solutions.on_offer,
career_solutions.active,
users.username,
users.profile_picture,
categories.category,
categories.category_url,
categories.color,
career_solutions_categories.category as sub_category,
career_solutions_format.category as event_format,
career_solutions_certification.category as certification
FROM career_solutions
INNER JOIN categories
ON categories.id = career_solutions.topic_category_id
INNER JOIN career_solutions_format
ON career_solutions_format.id = career_solutions.topic_format_id
INNER JOIN career_solutions_certification
ON career_solutions_certification.id = career_solutions.topic_certification_id
INNER JOIN career_solutions_categories
ON career_solutions_categories.id = career_solutions.topic_subcategory_id
INNER JOIN users
ON users.id = career_solutions.user_id
LEFT JOIN role_users on role_users.role_id = users.id
INNER JOIN privacy_settings
ON privacy_settings.user_id = users.id
WHERE users.deleted_at IS NULL
AND (
(privacy_settings.career_solutions = 0 AND public = 1 )
OR (users.id IN (
SELECT contacts.contact_id
FROM contacts
WHERE contacts.user_id = $id
)
)
)
OR users.id = $id
ORDER BY date desc limit 5000
");
$role = User::with('role')
->where ('id', '=', $id)
->first();
// $career_solutions_data;
foreach ($career_solutions_data as $career_solution)
{
preg_match('/<img.+src=[\'"](?P<src>.+?)[\'"].*>/i', $career_solution->optional, $image);
if(isset($image['src']))
{
$type_picture = $image['src'];
}
else{
$type_picture = "";
}
$temp_soluation = array();
$temp_soluation['type'] = 'Career Solution';
$temp_soluation['typee'] = 'briefcase';
$temp_soluation['subject'] = $career_solution->subject;
$temp_soluation['information'] = $career_solution->optional;
$temp_soluation['category'] = $career_solution->category;
$temp_soluation['category_url'] = $career_solution->category_url;
$temp_soluation['color'] = $career_solution->color;
$temp_soluation['all_url'] = 'search-career-solutions';
$temp_soluation['type_url'] = 'view-career-solutions';
$temp_soluation['id'] = $career_solution->id;
$temp_soluation['date'] = $career_solution->date;
$temp_soluation['public'] = $career_solution->public;
$temp_soluation['active'] = $career_solution->active;
$temp_soluation['sub_category'] = $career_solution->sub_category;
$temp_soluation['event_format'] = $career_solution->event_format;
$temp_soluation['certification'] = $career_solution->certification;
$temp_soluation['on_offer'] = $career_solution->on_offer;
$temp_soluation['username'] = $career_solution->username;
$temp_soluation['roleMe'] = $career_solution->optional;
$temp_soluation['role'] = $role->role[0]->id;
$temp_soluation['profile_picture'] = $career_solution->profile_picture;
$temp_soluation['type_picture'] = $type_picture;
// $news_events_opinions[] = $temp_soluation;
$my_career_solution[] = $temp_soluation;
}
}
This is what I have tried to add :
WHERE `career_solutions.active` <> `1`
or
WHERE `active` <> `1`
or
WHERE `active` != `1`
but didn't working.So, I need to not displaying the posts with active = 1.I have another 3 queries, different of that, where I have used this : ->where("active","!=",1);, but here I can't use it.

Answer 1

The problem are the backticks around the 1: This instructs MySQL to search for a column name 1.
Try WHERE career_solutions.active <> 1
