How to do join query in laravel?

Laravel 4: Why is this Eloquent query not working?

• Hi, im trying to run this query in Laravel 4 but for some odd reason it's not working any idea why?? Have a look: $statusesAndComments = StatusesModel::with(             array('comments' => function($query)             {                 $query->where('comments.userId', '=', $userId);             })         )->where('pageId', '=', $pageData->pageId)->get(); I need to get this working, it's quite urgent Thanks in advance

• Answer:

  I got it ... It's $statusesAndComments = StatusesModel::with(             array('comments' => function($query) use ($userId)             {                 $query->where('comments.userId', '=', $userId);             })         )->where('pageId', '=', $pageData->pageId)->get();
