Send query parameters over with an array - php

Question

I have a class Pagination with a method that counts the total number of articles. When I instantiate the class, I explicitly type the sql query and give him the parameters. Here is an example:
$pagination = new Pagination(self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS, $this->currentPage, self::TOPICS_IN_CATEGORY, [
'query' => 'SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM ' . self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS . ' WHERE title LIKE ?',
'params' => "%$keyWord%"
]);
The method that handles the query runs it and returns the result:
return $this->db->getRows($this->query['query'], [$this->query['params']]);
Everything works perfect, however, for this particular case (for searching articles) I want not only to count the results that match title but also by content, in other words I want to change to:
'SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM ' . self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS . ' WHERE title LIKE ? OR content LIKE ?'
But how do I pass the second parameter in 'params' => "%$keyWord%" ?
Edit:
Pagination class.
public function __construct(string $table, $currentPage = 1, $perPage, $query = [])
{
$this->db = Database::getInstance();
$this->currentPage = $currentPage;
$this->perPage = $perPage;
$this->table = $table;
$this->query = $query;
$getTotalRows = $this->countResultsFromTable();
$getTotalRows = $getTotalRows[0]->count;
$this->total = ceil($getTotalRows / $this->perPage);
}
public function countResultsFromTable()
{
if(empty($this->query))
{
return $this->db->getRows("SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM $this->table");
}
else
{
return $this->db->getRows($this->query['query'], [$this->query['params']]);
}
}

Try the following: extend your call to
$pagination = new Pagination(self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS, $this->currentPage, self::TOPICS_IN_CATEGORY, [
'query' => 'SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM ' . self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS . ' WHERE title LIKE ? AND content LIKE ?',
'title' => "%$keyWord%",
'content' => $CONTENT
]);
and the query evaluation to
return $this->db->getRows($this->query['query'],
[$this->query['title'], $this->query['content']]
);
If you don't want to change the Pagination class, append the content to the query before instantiating the Pagination:
$pagination = new Pagination(self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS, $this->currentPage, self::TOPICS_IN_CATEGORY, [
'query' => 'SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM ' . self::DATABASE_FORUM_TOPICS . ' WHERE title LIKE ? AND content LIKE "%' . your_escaping_function($content) . '%"',
'title' => "%$keyWord%"
]);
