CakePHP find all condition being ignored - cakephp

Question

I'm using CakePHP 1.3 and am having some trouble converting a SQL query to CakePHP. The concept behind the query is to retrieve all products associated with a specified account and belonging to a certain product category or the specified category's immediate child.
There are three tables involved here, products, product_categories and category_types. product_categories is a link table that joins products to category_types. The category_types table is a tree structure that can join to itself.
The SQL for the query should end up looking something like this if the category's id was 1 and the account's id was 1:
SELECT Product.id, Product.name, Product.account_id
FROM products AS Product
INNER JOIN product_categories AS pc ON (Product.id = pc.product_id)
INNER JOIN category_types AS ct ON (ct.id = pc.category_type_id)
WHERE (
((Product.account_id IS NULL) OR (Product.account_id = '1'))
AND ((ct.id = '1') OR (ct.parent_id = '1'))
)
Here is the code I'm using to try and do this, which is located in a function in my model:
$this->find('all', array(
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'product_categories',
'alias' => 'pc',
'type' => 'INNER',
'conditions' => array(
'Product.id = pc.product_id'
)
),
// get category type
array(
'table' => 'category_types',
'alias' => 'ct',
'type' => 'INNER',
'conditions' => array(
'pc.category_type_id = ct.id'
)
)
)
, 'conditions'=> array(
'OR' => array(
'Product.account_id IS NULL'
, 'Product.account_id' => $account_id
)
, 'OR' => array(
'ct.id' => $categoryTypeId
, 'ct.parent_id' => $categoryTypeId
)
)
));
The problem is that the query is ignoring the account_id OR conditions resulting in SQL like this:
SELECT Product.id, Product.name, Product.account_id
FROM products AS Product
INNER JOIN product_categories AS pc ON (Product.id = pc.product_id)
INNER JOIN category_types AS ct ON (ct.id = pc.category_type_id)
WHERE ((ct.id = '1') OR (ct.parent_id = '1'))
How can I alter my php code to get the desired results?

Answer 1

Thanks to user2076809 for pointing me in the right direction. The solution is to wrap the two OR conditions each in their own array.
$this->find('all', array(
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'product_categories',
'alias' => 'pc',
'type' => 'INNER',
'conditions' => array(
'Product.id = pc.product_id'
)
),
// get category type
array(
'table' => 'category_types',
'alias' => 'ct',
'type' => 'INNER',
'conditions' => array(
'pc.category_type_id = ct.id'
)
)
),
'conditions'=> array(
array(
'OR' => array(
'Product.account_id IS NULL'
, 'Product.account_id' => $account_id
)
),
array(
'OR' => array(
'ct.id' => $categoryTypeId
, 'ct.parent_id' => $categoryTypeId
)
)
)
));

I think, you should wrap the both of the array in only one OR condition like:-
$this->find('all', array(
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'product_categories',
'alias' => 'pc',
'type' => 'INNER',
'conditions' => array(
'Product.id = pc.product_id'
)
),
// get category type
array(
'table' => 'category_types',
'alias' => 'ct',
'type' => 'INNER',
'conditions' => array(
'pc.category_type_id = ct.id'
)
)
),
'conditions'=> array(
'OR' => array(
array(
'Product.account_id IS NULL'
, 'Product.account_id' => $account_id
),
array(
'ct.id' => $categoryTypeId
, 'ct.parent_id' => $categoryTypeId
)
)
)
));
