How do I query incomplete input - php

Question

I want to transform query string like pending, shipped or cancel to number status.
$q = strtolower($keyword);
if($q == 'pen' or $q == 'pend' or $q == 'pending' ) {
$d = 1;
} elseif($q == 'shi' or $q == 'ship' or $q == 'shipped') {
$d = 2;
} elseif($q == 'can' or $q == 'cancel' ) {
$d = 3;
} else {
$d = 4;
}
$query->whereStatus($d);
Current query working fine but too much or. It's possible to do in shorten way?

Answer 1

str_is(query, stringToSearch) will probably be enough:
if (str_is('pen*', $q)) {
$d = 1;
}
Else you could parse them from arrays:
$pendingArray = ['pen', 'pend', 'pending'];
if (in_array($q, $pendingArray)) {
$d = 1;
}

Answer 2

If these are all the conditions you need, you could always use a switch.
$q = strtolower($keyword);
$d = 4;
switch($q) {
case 'pen':
case 'pend':
case 'pending':
case 'pen':
$d = 1;
break;
case 'shi':
case 'ship':
case 'shipped':
$d = 2;
break;
case 'can':
case 'cancel':
$d = 3;
break;
}
$query->whereStatus($d);
If this needs to be called on a model, it could be saved to a Laravel scope function like so:
on Laravel model
public function scopeSearchStatus($query, $keyword) {
/** All the code above **/
}
Then it can be called cleanly anywhere you'd like:
SomeModel::searchStatus($keyword);

Answer 3

You could also try this:
<?php
$q = strtolower($keyword);
$d = (preg_match('/\b(pen|pend|pending)\b/', $q)) ? 1 : 4;
$d = (preg_match('/\b(shi|ship|shipped)\b/', $q)) ? 2 : 4;
$d = (preg_match('/\b(can|cancel|)\b/', $q)) ? 3 : 4;
$query->whereStatus($d);
