I have a database of places which I store the latitude and longitude for. I want to query the database to find all places within a radius ($requestedDistance
) of a specific latitude ($latitude
) and longitude ($longitude
).
The below query works and returns only those places within this radius, however how would I order them by distance so the closest is first? In the past, using raw SQL I have done the calculation within the SELECT statement and set it as 'distance' and then used HAVING distance < $requestedDistance ORDER BY distance
, however I'm not sure how to add the calculation to the SELECT query using Doctrine Repository.
$d = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('XXXWebsiteBundle:Locations')->createQueryBuilder('l');
$d
->add('where','l.enabled = 1')
->andWhere('( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('.$latitude.') )
* cos( radians( l.latitude ) )
* cos( radians( l.longitude )
- radians('.$longitude.') )
+ sin( radians('.$latitude.') )
* sin( radians( l.latitude ) ) ) ) < '.$requestedDistance);
$result= $d->getQuery();
UPDATE
I've tried the following query thanks to @Lazy Ants:
$d = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('XXXWebsiteBundle:Locations')->createQueryBuilder('l');
$d
->select('l')
->addSelect(
'( 3959 * acos(cos(radians(' . $latitude . '))' .
'* cos( radians( l.latitude ) )' .
'* cos( radians( l.longitude )' .
'- radians(' . $longitude . ') )' .
'+ sin( radians(' . $latitude . ') )' .
'* sin( radians( l.latitude ) ) ) ) as distance'
)
->andWhere('l.enabled = :enabled')
->setParameter('enabled', 1)
->andWhere('distance < :distance')
->setParameter('distance', $requestedDistance)
->orderBy('distance', 'ASC');
However, it returns the following error:
`An exception occurred while executing 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS dctrn_count FROM

You are using andWhere() without a where().
Replace the andWhere() with a where().
Please check also in your Entity definition if some property is mapped on a column called "sclr21", so you can discovery also on which property do you have the issue.
