Symfony Criteria Join unexpected behaviour - php

Question

i'm trying to do a complex query with Criteria in a Symfony project using Propel ORM.
the query i want to make is, in human words:
Select from the 'interface' table the registers that:
- 1 are associated with a process (with a link table)
- 2 have a name similat to $name
- 3 its destiny application's name is $apd (application accecible by foreign key)
- 4 its originapplication's name is $apo (application accecible by foreign key)
here the code i made, and not working:
$c = new Criteria();
$c->addJoin($linkPeer::CODIGO_INTERFASE,$intPeer::CODIGO_INTERFASE); //1
$c->add($linkPeer::CODIGO_PROCESONEGOCIO,$this->getCodigoProcesonegocio());//1
if($name){
$name = '%'.$name.'%'; //2
$c->add($intPeer::NOMBRE_INTERFASE,$name,Criteria::LIKE); //2
}
if($apd){
$apd = '%'.$apd.'%'; //3
$c->addJoin($appPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION,$intPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION_DESTINO);//3
$c->add($appPeer::NOMBRE_APLICACION,$apd,Criteria::LIKE); //3
}
if($apo){
$apo = '%'.$apo.'%';//4
$c->addJoin($appPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION,$intPeer::CODIGO_APLICACION_ORIGEN);//4
$c->add($appPeer::NOMBRE_APLICACION,$apo,Criteria::LIKE);//4
}
After that i did a $c->toString() to see the SQL generated and i saw that when i send only an $apd value, the SQL is correct, when i send an $apo value too. But when i send both, only the $apo AND apears on the SQL.
I guess its because the $c->add(...) call is the same with a distinct parameter, but not sure at all. Is this the error? What is the best way to generate my query correctly?
Thank you very much for your time! :D

Answer 1

Yes, it's overriding the previous call as the Criteria object only stores one condition per field. The solution is to create 2 or more separate Criterion objects and mix them into the Criteria object:
//something like this
$cron1 = $criteria->getNewCriterion();
$cron1->add($appPeer::NOMBRE_APLICACION,$apo,Criteria::LIKE);//4
$criteria->add($cron);
//and the same with the other criterion
However, it would be much easier to upgrade to Propel15+, where you work on the Query class level, and multiple restrictions on the same field don't override each other.
Hope this helps,
