How to mix AND OR operators in find conditions CakePHP - cakephp

Question

I want to write this query in CakePHP:
SELECT * FROM pm_management.chk_master_xs_tasks
where (eq_model = 'D11 R' OR eq_model = 'TODOS') AND (pm_type = 'XD' OR pm_type = 'XS');
I have tried severals ways like this:
$this->ChkMasterXsTask->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array('AND' => array(
array('OR' => array('ChkMasterXsTask.eq_model' => $eq_model,
'ChkMasterXsTask.eq_model' => 'TODOS')),
array('OR' => array('ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => $pm_type,
'ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => 'XS'))
)
),
));
But the result is not the expected. Also I saw related questions but doesn't work for me.
Thank you so much for your answers.

Answer 1

Your problem arises from this code (and this problem is repeated for eq_model)
array('ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => $pm_type,
'ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => 'XS')
which tries to assign 2 values to the same key of that associative array. You could rewrite your code to this:
array(array('ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => $pm_type),
array('ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => 'XS'))
Another option which improves readability, uses SQL's IN function. The equivalent SQL becomes
SELECT *
FROM pm_management.chk_master_xs_tasks
WHERE eq_model IN ('D11 R', 'TODOS')
AND pm_type IN ('XD', 'XS');
Which should make your find a little easier write:
$this->ChkMasterXsTask->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array(
'ChkMasterXsTask.eq_model' => array($eq_model, 'TODOS'),
'ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => array($pm_type, 'XS'))
));

Answer 2

just I see a error y your code, there is a comma, that shouldn't be there.
$this->ChkMasterXsTask->find(
'all', array(
'conditions' => array(
'AND' =>
array('OR' => array(
array('ChkMasterXsTask.eq_model' => $eq_model),
array('ChkMasterXsTask.eq_model' => 'TODOS')
),
array('OR' =>
array('ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => $pm_type),
array('ChkMasterXsTask.pm_type' => 'XS')
)
))
));
