How to get "not equal" in Where?

Question

I have something like this:

    $sql = new Sql($this->tableGateway->getAdapter());
    $select = $sql->select();

    $select
        -> from('mytable')
        -> join('exp', 'field1_id=field1.id', '*', 'LEFT');

    $where = new  Where();
    $where -> equalTo('field2_id', $field2_id);

    $select->where($where);

    $statement = $sql->prepareStatementForSqlObject($select);

but what if I want use "not equalTo"? How to do it?

Answer 1

You need to use notEqualTo

$where->notEqualTo('field2_id', $field2_id);

Answer 2

This is how I am using it, most of us might be searching for such querystring, having such clasues in a single query.

return $details = $this->select(function(Select $select) use ($domain, $domainWithoutWWW){
            $select->columns(['dealername'=> 'dealer.name']);
            $select->join('template',"dealer.template_id = template.id", ['template_name' => 'name','template_html' => 'html','template_css' => 'css'], 'left');
            $select->where($select->where->notEqualTo('dealer.used_car_dealer_id',1826));
            $select->where(array('dealer.parent' => 0));
            $select->where(new In('domain', ['abc.com', 'xyz.com', 'lmn.com']));
        });
