How do I say WHERE (a = 1 OR b =1 ) AND (c = 1 OR d = 1)
For more complicated queries am I supposed to use raw SQL?

Make use of Logical Grouping (Laravel 7.x/4.2). For your example, it'd be something like this:
Model::where(function ($query) { $query->where('a', '=', 1) ->orWhere('b', '=', 1); })->where(function ($query) { $query->where('c', '=', 1) ->orWhere('d', '=', 1); }); If you want to use parameters for a,b,c,d in Laravel 4
Model::where(function ($query) use ($a,$b) { $query->where('a', '=', $a) ->orWhere('b', '=', $b); }) ->where(function ($query) use ($c,$d) { $query->where('c', '=', $c) ->orWhere('d', '=', $d); }); if you want to use parentheses in laravel 4 and don't forget return
In Laravel 4 (at least) you need to use $a, $b in parentheses as in the example
$a = 1; $b = 1; $c = 1; $d = 1; Model::where(function ($query) use ($a, $b) { return $query->where('a', '=', $a) ->orWhere('b', '=', $b); })->where(function ($query) use ($c, $d) { return $query->where('c', '=', $c) ->orWhere('d', '=', $d); }); This is my result: 
Incase you're looping the OR conditions, you don't need the the second $query->where from the other posts (actually I don't think you need in general, you can just use orWhere in the nested where if easier)
$attributes = ['first'=>'a','second'=>'b']; $query->where(function ($query) use ($attributes) { foreach ($attributes as $key=>value) { //you can use orWhere the first time, doesn't need to be ->where $query->orWhere($key,$value); } }); Simply Use in Laravel Eloquent:
$a='foo', $b='bar', $c='john', $d='doe'; Coder::where(function ($query) use ($a, $b) { $query->where('a', '=', $a) ->orWhere('b', '=', $b); })->where(function ($query) use ($c, $d) { $query->where('c', '=', $c) ->orWhere('d', '=', $d); })->get(); Will produce a query like:
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE (a='foo' or b='bar') AND (c='john' or d='doe'); You can also query the first or condition and later you can apply another or condition
$model = Model::where('a',1)->orWhere('b',1); now apply another condition on that $model variable
$model1 = $model->where('c',1)->orWhere('d',1)->get(); $a, $b, $c, $d can be dynamic values by the query
->where(function($query) use ($a, $b) { $query->where('a', $a) ->orWhere('b',$b); }) ->where(function($query) use ($c, $d) { $query->where('c', $c) ->orWhere('d',$d); }) Another way without using Modal
Database: stocks Columns:id,name,company_name,exchange_name,status
$name ='aa' $stocks = DB::table('stocks') ->select('name', 'company_name', 'exchange_name') ->where(function($query) use ($name) { $query->where('name', 'like', '%' . $name . '%') ->orWhere('company_name', 'like', '%' . $name . '%'); }) ->Where('status', '=', 1) ->limit(20) ->get(); You can also use query scopes to make things a bit tidier, so you can do something like:
Invoice::where('account', 27)->notPaidAt($date)->get(); Then in your model
public function scopeNotPaidAt($query, $asAt) { $query = $query->where(function ($query) use ($asAt) { $query->where('paid', '=', '0000-00-00')->orWhere('paid', '>=', $asAt); }); return $query; } YourModel::where(function ($query) use($a,$b) { $query->where('a','=',$a) ->orWhere('b','=', $b); })->where(function ($query) use ($c,$d) { $query->where('c','=',$c) ->orWhere('d','=',$d); }); Best way to use sql brackets use callback function in laravel eloquent.
YourModal::where(function ($q) { $q->where('a', 1)->orWhere('b', 1); })->where(function ($q) { $q->where('c', 1)->orWhere('d', 1); }); You don't have to use
=symbol, it's come as the default
Lest say if you have a query that contain brackets inside a brackets
WHERE (a = 1 OR (b = 1 and c = 5)) YourModal::where(function ($q) { $q->where('a', 1)->orWhere(function($q2){ $q2->where('b', 1)->where('c', 5); }); }); lest say you want to make values dynamics
YourModal::where(function ($q) use($val1, $val2) { $q->where('a', $val1)->orWhere(function($q2) use($val2){ $q2->where('b', $val2)->where('c', $val2); }); }); This works for me
$business = Model::where('model_id', $model_id1)->orWhere('model_id', $model_id2)->first(); You can use:
Model::where('table_column', 'value')->orWhere('table_column', 'value')->get() For eloquent query builder the following query will not work:
MODELNAME::where('a', 1)->orWhere('b', 1)->where('c', 1)->orWhere('d', 1); But you can use this code:
MODELNAME::where(function($a) { $a->where('a', 1)->orWhere('b', 1); })->where(function($a) { $a->where('c', 1)->orWhere('d', 1); }); You can use the second query and it will work perfectly.
