I want to add OR condition in this paginate array.

$conditions = array();  
$conditions[‘[Years.id](http://Years.id)’] = 2;  
$this-\>paginate = [  
‘contain’ =\> [‘Courses’, ‘Streams’, ‘Years’, ‘Subjects’],  
‘conditions’ =\> [$condition]  
];

What controller or table are you working with ?

I can see an error:  
‘conditions’ =\> [$condition] should be:  
'conditions =\> $conditions
