According to the documentation, you can use «where groups». However, it's not clear from the documentation how to pass a variable to a nested function.

The documentation provides the following example:

QB::table('my_table')
    ->where('my_table.age', 10)
    ->where(function($q)
        {
            $q->where('name', 'LIKE', '%usman%');
            // You can provide a closure on these wheres too, to nest further.
            $q->orWhere('description', 'LIKE', '%usman%');
        });

However, when attempting something similar, problems arise:

$search = 'Ale';
QB::table('my_table')
    ->where('my_table.age', 10)
    ->where(function($q)
        {
            $q->where('name', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%');
            $q->orWhere('description', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%');
        });

This results in an error about an unknown variable $search.

To pass a variable to a nested function, you can use the use statement in PHP. Here's the modified code:

$search = 'Ale';
QB::table('my_table')
    ->where('my_table.age', 10)
    ->where(function($q) use ($search)
        {
            $q->where('name', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%');
            $q->orWhere('description', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%');
        });

By adding use ($search) after the function($q), you can pass the $search variable into the closure.

This should resolve the issue of the unknown variable and allow you to use variables in nested functions.
