Answer 1

$variable = array('this' => 1,
                    'that' => 1
                    'that' => 1,
                    'this_too' => 1,
                    'that_too' => 1,
                    'this_as_well' => 1,
                    'that_as_well' => 1,
                    'this_one_too' => 1,
                    'that_one_too' => 1,
                    'this_one_as_well' => 1,
                    'that_one_as_well' => 1);

foreach ($variable as $key => $value) {
    User::where($key, '=', $value);
}

Answer 2

Model::where('column_1','=','value_1')->where('column_2 ','=','value_2')->get();

OR

// If you are looking for equal value then no need to add =
Model::where('column_1','value_1')->where('column_2','value_2')->get();

OR

Model::where(['column_1' => 'value_1','column_2' => 'value_2'])->get();

Query scopes may help you to let your code more readable.

http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#query-scopes

Updating this answer with some example:

In your model, create scopes methods like this:

public function scopeActive($query)
{
    return $query->where('active', '=', 1);
}

public function scopeThat($query)
{
    return $query->where('that', '=', 1);
}

Then, you can call this scopes while building your query:

$users = User::active()->that()->get();

Answer 4

Multiple where clauses

    $query=DB::table('users')
        ->whereRaw("users.id BETWEEN 1003 AND 1004")
        ->whereNotIn('users.id', [1005,1006,1007])
        ->whereIn('users.id',  [1008,1009,1010]);
    $query->where(function($query2) use ($value)
    {
        $query2->where('user_type', 2)
            ->orWhere('value', $value);
    });

   if ($user == 'admin'){
        $query->where('users.user_name', $user);
    }

finally getting the result

    $result = $query->get();

Answer 5

You can use subqueries in anonymous function like this:

 $results = User::where('this', '=', 1)
            ->where('that', '=', 1)
            ->where(function($query) {
                /** @var $query Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder  */
                return $query->where('this_too', 'LIKE', '%fake%')
                    ->orWhere('that_too', '=', 1);
            })
            ->get();

Answer 6

A sample of code.

Firstly :

$matchesLcl=[];

array gets filled here using desired count / loop of conditions, incremently :

 $matchesLcl['pos']= $request->pos;
$matchesLcl['operation']= $operation;
//+......+
$matchesLcl['somethingN']= $valueN;

and further with eloquents like this shrink expression :

if (!empty($matchesLcl))
    $setLcl= MyModel::select(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
        ->where($matchesLcl)
        ->whereBetween('updated_at', array($newStartDate . ' 00:00:00', $newEndDate . ' 23:59:59'));
else 
    $setLcl= MyModel::select(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
        ->whereBetween('updated_at', array($newStartDate . ' 00:00:00', $newEndDate . ' 23:59:59'));
