I want to query a database by making use of a whereMonth clause in laravel using a for loop but I am getting an empty array. If I replace $m in whereMonth clause with an integer like 7 it pulls the data.
<table class="table table-bordered table-hover expenses-report" id="expenses-report-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="bold">Category</th>
<?php
for ($m=1; $m<=12; $m++) {
echo ' <th class="bold">' .date('F', mktime(0,0,0,$m,1)) . '</th>';}
?>
<th class="bold">year ({{\Carbon\Carbon::now()->format('Y')}})</th>
<?php
?>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach ($categories as $category)
<tr>
<td>
{{$category->name}}
<?php
for ($m = 1; $m <= 12; $m++) {
if (!isset($netMonthlyTotal[$m])) {
$netMonthlyTotal[$m] = array();
}
$expense_results = $expenses->whereMonth('date',$m)
->whereYear('date', \Carbon\Carbon::now()->format('Y'))
->where('category', $category->id)
->get();
print_r($expense_results);
$total_expenses = array();
echo '<td>';
foreach ($expense_results as $expense) {
$expense = $expenses->where('id', $expense->id)->first();
$total = $expense->amount;
$totalTaxByExpense = 0;
// Check if tax is applied
if ($expense->tax != 0) {
$totalTaxByExpense+= ($total / 100 * $expense->tax);
}
$taxTotal[$m][] = $totalTaxByExpense;
$total_expenses[] = $total;
}
$total_expenses = array_sum($total_expenses);
// Add to total monthy expenses
array_push($netMonthlyTotal[$m], $total_expenses);
if (!isset($totalNetByExpenseCategory[$category->id])) {
$totalNetByExpenseCategory[$category->id] = array();
}
array_push($totalNetByExpenseCategory[$category->id], $total_expenses);
// Output the total for this category
if (count($categories) <= 8) {
echo $total_expenses;
} else {
// show tooltip for the month if more the 8 categories found. becuase when listing down you wont be able to see the month
echo '<span data-toggle="tooltip"
title="' . date('F', mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, 1)) . '">' . $total_expenses . '</span>';
}
echo '</td>';
}
?>
</td>
<td class="bg-odd">
{{array_sum($totalNetByExpenseCategory[$category->id])}}
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>
</table>
I basically want to return results matching the search query including the whereMonth
