So I am trying to set up a search page and it has multiple get options But I am curious as to how to set this up correctly, I know this is far from correct as I am doing if statements inside of setting a variable, But I am so lost right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
public function index()
{
$queryUsername = Request::get('u');
$queryPostcode = Request::get('p');
$queryOrderbyPhotos = Request::get('o1');
$queryOrderbyOnline = Request::get('o2');
$queryOrderbyTypes = Request::get('o3');
$users = User::rightJoin('user_profiles','users.id', '=', 'user_profiles.user_id')
if ($queryUsername)
{
->where('users.username', '=', "$queryUsername")
}
if ($queryPostcode) {
->where('user_profiles.postcode', '=', "$queryPostcode")
}
if ($queryOrderbyPhotos) {
->whereNotNull('user_profile.avatar')
}
if ($queryOrderbyOnline) {
->orderBy('users.last_online', 'DESC')
}
if ($queryOrderbyType) {
->orderBy('users.type', 'DESC')
}
->get();
return view('view', compact('users'));
}
