Laravel 5.X: How Do I Get Raw SQL Query As String With Binders From Query Builder | Query Builder To Raw SQL

Laravel 5.X: How Do I Get Raw SQL Query As String With Binders From Query Builder. Its very easy and now few steps from here. It's interesting.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

$model = DB::table('employee')
    ->where("employee.id", "<>", 0)
    ->whereIn("employee.id", array(1, 2))
    ->where("employee.type", "PERMANENT")
    ->where(function ($q) {
        $q->where("employee.id", 1)->orWhere("employee.id", 2);
    })
    ->limit(10)->offset(0)
    ->groupBy("employee.id")
    ->select("employee.id");

$replace = function ($sql, $bindings) {
    $pos = 0;
    $needle = '?';
    foreach ($bindings as $replace) {
        if (is_string($replace)) {
            $replace = DB::connection()->getPdo()->quote($replace);
        }
        $pos = strpos($sql, $needle, $pos);
        if ($pos !== false) {
            $sql = substr_replace($sql, $replace, $pos, strlen($needle));
            $pos = $pos + strlen($replace);
        }
    }
    return $sql;
};

$sql = $replace($model->toSql(), $model->getBindings());
echo "SQL=" . $sql;

And output would be like below:

SELECT `employee`.`id`
FROM `employee`
WHERE `employee`.`id` <> 0 AND `employee`.`id` IN (1, 2) AND
      `employee`.`type` = 'PERMANENT' AND (`employee`.`id` = 1 OR `employee`.`id` = 2)
GROUP BY `employee`.`id`
LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0
