Following is the code snippet to connect to the database − <?php // connect to mongodb $m = new MongoClient(); echo “Connection to database successfully”; // select a database $db = $m->mydb; echo “Database mydb selected”; ?> When the program is executed, it will produce the following result − Connection to database successfully Database mydb selected Create a Collection Following is the code snippet to create a collection − <?php // connect to mongodb $m = new MongoClient(); echo “Connection to database successfully”; // select a database $db = $m->mydb; echo “Database mydb selected”; $collection = $db->createCollection(“mycol”); echo “Collection created succsessfully”; ?> When the program is executed, it will produce the following result − Connection to database successfully Database mydb selected Collection created succsessfully Insert a Document To insert a document into MongoDB, insert() method is used. Following is the code snippet to insert a document − <?php // connect to mongodb $m = new MongoClient(); echo “Connection to database successfully”; // select a database $db = $m->mydb; echo “Database mydb selected”; $collection = $db->mycol; echo “Collection selected succsessfully”; $document = array( “title” => “MongoDB”, “description” => “database”, “likes” => 100, “url” => “http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mongodb/”, “by” => “tutorials point” ); $collection->insert($document); echo “Document inserted successfully”; ?> When the program is executed, it will produce the following result − Connection to database successfully Database mydb selected Collection selected succsessfully Document inserted successfully Find All Documents To select all documents from the collection, find() method is used. Following is the code snippet to select all documents − <?php // connect to mongodb $m = new MongoClient(); echo “Connection to database successfully”; // select a database $db = $m->mydb; echo “Database mydb selected”; $collection = $db->mycol; echo “Collection selected succsessfully”; $cursor = $collection->find(); // iterate cursor to display title of documents foreach ($cursor as $document) { echo $document[“title”] . “n”; } ?> When the program is executed, it will produce the following result − Connection to database successfully Database mydb selected Collection selected succsessfully { “title”: “MongoDB” } Update a Document To update a document, you need to use the update() method. In the following example, we will update the title of inserted document to MongoDB Tutorial. Following is the code snippet to update a document − <?php // connect to mongodb $m = new MongoClient(); echo “Connection to database successfully”; // select a database $db = $m->mydb; echo “Database mydb selected”; $collection = $db->mycol; echo “Collection selected succsessfully”; // now update the document $collection->update(array(“title”=>”MongoDB”), array(”$set”=>array(“title”=>”MongoDB Tutorial”))); echo “Document updated successfully”; // now display the updated document $cursor = $collection->find(); // iterate cursor to display title of documents echo “Updated document”; foreach ($cursor as $document) { echo $document[“title”] . “n”; } ?> When the program is executed, it will produce the following result − Connection to database successfully Database mydb selected Collection selected succsessfully Document updated successfully Updated document { “title”: “MongoDB Tutorial” } Delete a Document To delete a document, you need to use remove() method. In the following example, we will remove the documents that has the title MongoDB Tutorial. Following is the code snippet to delete a document − <?php // connect to mongodb $m = new MongoClient(); echo “Connection to database successfully”; // select a database $db = $m->mydb; echo “Database mydb selected”; $collection = $db->mycol; echo “Collection selected succsessfully”; // now remove the document $collection->remove(array(“title”=>”MongoDB Tutorial”),false); echo “Documents deleted successfully”; // now display the available documents $cursor = $collection->find(); // iterate cursor to display title of documents echo “Updated document”; foreach ($cursor as $document) { echo $document[“title”] . “n”; } ?> When the program is executed, it will produce the following result − Connection to database successfully Database mydb selected Collection selected successfully Documents deleted successfully In the above example, the second parameter is boolean type and used for justOne field of remove() method. Remaining MongoDB methods findOne(), save(), limit(), skip(), sort() etc. works same as explained above. Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;
