how to check one field with two values in laravel 4.2

Question

$input = Input::all();


$user = User::where(function($q) {
          $q->where(\'email\', $input[\'email\'] )
            ->orWhere(\'email\', $input[\'emails         


        

Answer 1

Add use($input) to pass the $input variable to the closure scope:

User::where(function ($q) use ($input) {

Closures may also inherit variables from the parent scope. Any such variables must be passed to the use language construct.

Answer 2

User::where(function($q) use ($input) {
    $q->where('email', $input['emails'][0]['value']);
    if (array_key_exists('email', $input)) {
        $q->orWhere('email', $input['emails'][0]['value']);
    }
})

but make sure that you always have this value $input['emails'][0]['value']
