Laravel 5 Eloquent where and or in Clauses

Also, if you have a variable,

CabRes::where('m_Id', 46)
      ->where('t_Id', 2)
      ->where(function($q) use ($variable){
          $q->where('Cab', 2)
            ->orWhere('Cab', $variable);
      })
      ->get();

When we use multiple and (where) condition with last (where + or where) the where condition fails most of the time. for that we can use the nested where function with parameters passing in that.

$feedsql = DB::table('feeds as t1')
                   ->leftjoin('groups as t2', 't1.groups_id', '=', 't2.id')
                    ->where('t2.status', 1)
                    ->whereRaw("t1.published_on <= NOW()") 
                    >whereIn('t1.groupid', $group_ids)
                   ->where(function($q)use ($userid) {
                            $q->where('t2.contact_users_id', $userid)
                            ->orWhere('t1.users_id', $userid);
                     })
                  ->orderBy('t1.published_on', 'desc')->get();

The above query validate all where condition then finally checks where t2.status=1 and (where t2.contact_users_id='$userid' or where t1.users_id='$userid')

Using advanced wheres:

CabRes::where('m__Id', 46)
      ->where('t_Id', 2)
      ->where(function($q) {
          $q->where('Cab', 2)
            ->orWhere('Cab', 4);
      })
      ->get();

Or, even better, using whereIn():

CabRes::where('m__Id', 46)
      ->where('t_Id', 2)
      ->whereIn('Cab', $cabIds)
      ->get();
