cakephp complex query multiple 'OR' condition - sql

Question

i want to make query like this with cakephp:
WHERE text LIKE '%keyword%'
AND
(
(text LIKE '%something%')
OR (text LIKE '%something%')
OR (...)
)
AND
(
(text LIKE '%other%')
OR (text LIKE '%other%')
OR (...)
)
NOT
(
(text LIKE '%dont include%')
OR (text LIKE '%dont include%')
OR (...)
)
this is my code for $conditions:
$conditions = array
(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%keyword%',
'AND' => array(
array(
'OR' => array(
// topic
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%something%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%something%')
)
),
array(
'OR' => array(
// sentiment
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%other%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%other%')
)
)
),
'NOT' => array(
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%dont include%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%dont include%')
)
);
i am displaying the result with Debugger::dump() method, and the result is just using the last 'OR' condition, not both 'OR' conditions:
array(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%keyword%',
'OR' => array(
(int) 0 => array(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%other%'
),
(int) 1 => array(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%other%'
)
),
'NOT' => array(
(int) 0 => array(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%dont include%'
),
(int) 1 => array(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%dont include%'
)
)
)
My question is, how do I make a query such that use both 'OR' condition?
Pls reply as soon as possible.. Thanks in advance :)

Try the following:
$conditions = array(
'Tweet.text LIKE' => '%aa%', //implied and
array( //implied and
'or' => array(
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%11%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%22%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%33%'),
...
)
),
array( //implied and
'or' => array(
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%123%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%456%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%789%'),
...
)
)
'not' => array(
'or' => array(
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%x%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%y%'),
array('Tweet.text LIKE' => '%z%'),
...
)
)
)
would be
text LIKE aa
AND ( either 11, 22, 33 )
AND (either 123, 456, 789)
BUT NOT (x || y || z)`
Any array that does not specify or, and or not is and. No need to specify it manually.
