Symfony2 + doctrine's query builder - where != 1 - php

Question

I have a function that creates a query to my db, like this:
public function getList($u, $t, $ls, $lf) {
return $this->getEntityManager()
->createQuery('
SELECT
o,
u,
g,
r,
t,
p
FROM GameShelfUsersBundle:Own o
LEFT JOIN o.user u
LEFT JOIN o.game g
LEFT JOIN o.rate r
LEFT JOIN o.typo t
LEFT JOIN o.platforms p
WHERE u.id = :user
AND o.typo = :type
ORDER BY o.updated DESC
')
->setParameters(array(
'user' => $u,
'type' => $t
))
->setMaxResults($lf)
->setFirstResult($ls)
->getResult();
}
My problem is, how to set :type to be not in? I mean, I wanted to use it like this:
$type = '!= 1'
...
AND o.typo :type
...
'type' => $type
But it didn't worked at all. Using $type = -1 doesn't help either. Is there any way, other than creating if/else statement and duplicating query?

Answer 1

Why don't you use a query builder??
In that way you can easily customize your query, depending on some condition.
This is an example:
$q = $this
->createQueryBuilder('foo')
->select('foo')
->leftJoin('foo.bar', 'foobar')
->leftJoin('foobar.bar', 'foobarbar')
;
if($myVar > 0)
{
$q->where('foobarbar.var = :myVar');
}
else
{
$q->where('foobarbar.var = :staticValue');
}
[...]
Remember to call return $q->getResult(); at the end
