Yii2 QueryBuilder Update with Join

Question

I have the following raw SQL query:

UPDATE `pay_audit`
JOIN `invoice_items`
ON `invoice_items`.`mdn` = `pay_audit`.`account_id` 
AND `invoice_items`.`unitprice` = `pay_audit`.`payment`
AND `invoice_items`.`producttype_name` LIKE 'PAYMENT'
AND DATE_FORMAT(`invoice_items`.`created`, '%Y-%m-%d') = '2015-02-21'
SET `pay_audit`.`invoice_item_id` = `invoice_items`.`id`
WHERE `pay_audit`.`report_date` = '2015-02-21'

Date is the $ date variable in php.

How can I "convert" this raw SQL query into a Yii2 QueryBuilder?

[UPDATE]

As Felipe said, this is not possible with the query builder, so I ended up doing it as it should:

    $today = date('Y-m-d');
    $sql = "";
    $sql .= "UPDATE `pay_audit` ";
    $sql .= "JOIN `invoice_items` ";
    $sql .= "ON `invoice_items`.`mdn` = `pay_audit`.`account_id` ";
    $sql .= "AND `invoice_items`.`unitprice` = `qpay_audit`.`payment` ";
    $sql .= "AND `invoice_items`.`producttype_name` LIKE 'PAYMENT' ";
    $sql .= "AND DATE_FORMAT(`invoice_items`.`created`, '%Y-%m-%d') = '$today' ";
    $sql .= "SET `pay_audit`.`invoice_item_id` = `invoice_items`.`id` ";
    $sql .= "WHERE `pay_audit`.`report_date` = '$today'";

    $command = \Yii::$app->db->createCommand($sql);
    $command->execute();

I'm afraid Yii 2 Query Builder is for query only .

For update requests , you have at least three options:

• Raw SQL:

  \Yii::$app->db->createCommand('update user set status = 1 where age > 30')->execute();
  

• Raw SQL with placeholders (to prevent SQL injection)

  \Yii::$app->db->createCommand('update user set status = :status where age > 30')->bindValue(':status','1')->execute();
  

• update () method

  // update user set status = 1 where age > 30
  \Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->update('user', ['status' => 1], 'age > 30')->execute();
