1.
Make a Connection and Select a Database
For connecting to the MongoDB database you need to specify the name of
the database, if the database does not exist then MongoDB will create it
automatically.
Following is the code for that:
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->examplesdb;
echo "Database examplesdb selected";
?>
When you execute the above program, it will display the following result:
Connection to the database successfully
Database examplesdb selected
2. Create a Collection
Following is the code for creating a collection in MongoDB:
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->examplesdb;
echo "Database examplesdb selected";
$collection = $db->createCollection("examplescol");
echo "Collection created succsessfully";
?>
This is the output for the code:
Connection to the database successfully
Database examplesdb selected
Collection created successfully
Following is the code for inserting a document:
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->examplesdb;
echo "Database examplesdb selected";
$collection = $db->examplescol;
echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
$document = array(
"title" => "MongoDB",
"description" => "database",
"likes" => 100,
"url" => "http://www.data-flair.training/mongodb/",
"by" => "data flair"
);
$collection->insert($document);
echo "Document inserted successfully";
?>
After executing the code you will get the following output:
Connection to the database successfully
Database examplesdb selected
Collection selected successfully
Document inserted successfully
Find All Documents
find() method is used to select all documents from the collection.
Following is the code to find all documents:
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->examplesdb;
echo "Database examplesdb selected";
$collection = $db->examplescol;
echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
$cursor = $collection->find();
// iterate cursor to display title of documents
foreach ($cursor as $document) {
echo $document["title"] . "\n";
}
?>
Update a Document
update() method is used to update a document in MongoDB.
Following is the code to update a document:
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->examplesdb;
echo "Database examplesdb selected";
$collection = $db->examplescol;
echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
// now update the document
$collection->update(array("name"=>"MongoDB"),
array('$set'=>array("name"=>"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["name"] . "\n";
}
?>
Delete a Document
remove() method is used to delete a document in MongoDB.
Following is the code to delete a document:
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->examplesdb;
echo "Database examplesdb selected";
$collection = $db->examplescol;
echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
// now remove the document
$collection->remove(array("name"=>"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["name"] . "\n";
}
?>
