ZF2 Doctrine Query With Multiple OR Conditions - symfony

Question

I've wrote the following Doctrine query:
$query3 = $this->entityManager
->createQueryBuilder()
->select('t.textDomain , t.translationKey , t.languageIso , t.translationDate')
->from(
'AMDatabase\Entity\TheVerse\TranslationsMasters',
't'
)
->groupBy('t.languageIso')
->orderBy(
't.translationDate',
'DESC'
);
// the values of $key2 array are:
// en-US
// es-MX
// es-PR
foreach( $translation AS $key2=>$value2 ) {
if ( $key2 == 'en-US' ) {
$query3
->orWhere(
$query3->expr()
->like(
't.languageIso',
':languageIso'
)
)
->setParameter(
'languageIso',
$key2
);
}
}
$result3 = $query3->getQuery()
->getArrayResult();
How do I have the query search for all 3 language ISO's at the same time?
With "if ( $key2 == 'en-US' ) {" the query executes and gives me the expected result.
But if I remove "if ( $key2 == 'en-US' ) {" there are no search results.
I thought by using "orWhere" it would keep adding conditions to the query (where en-US will still produce a match).

Answer 1

In haven't ever been able to get orWhere to function the way I think it should. It might be that you need a Where in your opening definition before you can add an orWhere later. You might have to use the nested orX statement like this instead:
$query3->andWhere($query3->expr()->orX(
$query3->expr()->like('t.languageIso', $query3->expr()->literal('en-US')),
$query3->expr()->like('t.languageIso', $query3->expr()->literal('es-MX')),
$query3->expr()->like('t.languageIso', $query3->expr()->literal('es-PR'))
));
You can't develop the statement through a loop. But, since you've only got three criteria, it's easy enough to write out.
