Laravel MySQL with where conditions avoid columns - php

Question

I want to perform following search query, when user sends values I want to get matching results
If any results contain "none" i want to remove it from where condition and check only matching values for others
Example 1
$fructose = high
$lactose = mid
$polyols = none
$fructan = none
if so i want to check only matching results for $fructose=high and $lactose=mid
Example 2
$fructose = high
$lactose = mid
$polyols = mid
$fructan = mid
If so I want to check all matching results
Please advise, below is my current query
$fod = FodMap::select('*')
->where('fructose_level', '>=', $fructose)
->where('lactose_level','>=', $lactose)
->where('polyols_level', '>=', $polyols)
->where('fructan_level', '>=', $fructan)
->get();

Answer 1

Here I tried to solve your problem by writing query using eloquent structure. You should manage value and operator in where condition as per your need.
You can write your query with if condition like this:
$query = FodMap::select('*');
if($fructose != none){
$query = $query->where('fructose_level',$fructose);
}
if($lactose != none){
$query = $query->where('lactose_level',$fructose);
}
if($polyols != none){
$query = $query->where('polyols_level',$fructose);
}
if($fructan != none){
$query = $query->where('fructan_level',$fructose);
}
$fod = $query->get();
