MongoDB PHP tutorial specially designs to connect MongoDB with PHP. Here, we will see the process with an example for clear understanding. So before wasting time, let’s discuss it.<\/p>\n

MongoDB PHP<\/h2>\n

To use MongoDB PHP driver download it from the following site: https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/drivers.mongodb.org\/php\/index.html<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

You should download the latest version of it. Now unzip the archive and put php_mongo.dll in your PHP extension directory.<\/strong>
\nextension = php_mongo.dll<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to Connect MongoDB with PHP<\/h2>\n

Following are the few steps to connect MongoDB PHP:<\/p>\n

1. Make a Connection and Select a Database<\/h3>\n

For connecting to the MongoDB database<\/strong> you need to specify the name of the database, if the database does not exist then MongoDB will create it automatically.<\/p>\n

Following is the code for that:<\/p>\n

<?php\r\n  \/\/ connect to mongodb\r\n  $m = new MongoClient();\r\n\r\n  echo \"Connection to database successfully\";\r\n  \/\/ select a database\r\n  $db = $m->examplesdb;\r\n\r\n  echo \"Database examplesdb selected\";\r\n?><\/pre>\n
When you execute the above program, it will display the following result:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Connection to the database successfully<\/p>\n
Database examplesdb selected<\/p>\n
2. Create a Collection<\/h3>\n
Following is the code for creating a collection in MongoDB<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n  \/\/ connect to mongodb\r\n  $m = new MongoClient();\r\n  echo \"Connection to database successfully\";\r\n\r\n  \/\/ select a database\r\n  $db = $m->examplesdb;\r\n  echo \"Database examplesdb selected\";\r\n  $collection = $db->createCollection(\"examplescol\");\r\n  echo \"Collection created succsessfully\";\r\n?>\r\n<\/pre>\n
This is the output for the code:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Connection to the database successfully<\/p>\n
Database examplesdb selected<\/p>\n
Collection created successfully<\/p>\n
3. Insert a Document<\/h3>\n
insert() method, is used to insert a document in MongoDB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Following is the code for inserting a document:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n  \/\/ connect to mongodb\r\n  $m = new MongoClient();\r\n  echo \"Connection to database successfully\";\r\n\r\n  \/\/ select a database\r\n  $db = $m->examplesdb;\r\n  echo \"Database examplesdb selected\";\r\n  $collection = $db->examplescol;\r\n  echo \"Collection selected succsessfully\";\r\n\r\n  $document = array( \r\n  \"title\" => \"MongoDB\", \r\n  \"description\" => \"database\", \r\n  \"likes\" => 100,\r\n  \"url\" => \"http:\/\/www.data-flair.training\/mongodb\/\",\r\n  \"by\" => \"data flair\"\r\n );\r\n\r\n$collection->insert($document);\r\necho \"Document inserted successfully\";\r\n?><\/pre>\n
After executing the code you will get the following output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Connection to the database successfully<\/p>\n
Database examplesdb selected<\/p>\n
Collection selected successfully<\/p>\n
Document inserted successfully<\/p>\n
4. Find All Documents<\/h3>\n
find() method is used to select all documents from the collection.<\/p>\n
Following is the code to find all documents:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n  \/\/ connect to mongodb\r\n  $m = new MongoClient();\r\n  echo \"Connection to database successfully\";\r\n\r\n  \/\/ select a database\r\n  $db = $m->examplesdb;\r\n  echo \"Database examplesdb selected\";\r\n  $collection = $db->examplescol;\r\n  echo \"Collection selected succsessfully\";\r\n\r\n  $cursor = $collection->find();\r\n  \/\/ iterate cursor to display title of documents\r\n\r\n  foreach ($cursor as $document) {\r\n  echo $document[\"title\"] . \"\\n\";\r\n }\r\n?><\/pre>\n
After executing the following code you will get this output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Connection to database successfully\r\nDatabase examplesdb selected\r\nCollection selected succsessfully {\r\n\"title\": \"MongoDB\"\r\n}<\/pre>\n
5. Update a Document<\/h3>\n
update() method is used to update a document in MongoDB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Following is the code to update a document:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n   \/\/ connect to mongodb\r\n   $m = new MongoClient();\r\n   echo \"Connection to database successfully\";\r\n\r\n   \/\/ select a database\r\n   $db = $m->examplesdb;\r\n   echo \"Database examplesdb selected\";\r\n   $collection = $db->examplescol;\r\n   echo \"Collection selected succsessfully\";\r\n\r\n   \/\/ now update the document\r\n   $collection->update(array(\"name\"=>\"MongoDB\"), \r\n   array('$set'=>array(\"name\"=>\"MongoDB Tutorial\")));\r\n   echo \"Document updated successfully\";\r\n\r\n   \/\/ now display the updated document\r\n   $cursor = $collection->find();\r\n\r\n   \/\/ iterate cursor to display title of documents\r\n   echo \"Updated document\";\r\n\r\n   foreach ($cursor as $document) {\r\n   echo $document[\"name\"] . \"\\n\";\r\n }\r\n?><\/pre>\n
After executing the program you will get the following output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Connection to the database successfully\r\nDatabase examplesdb selected\r\nCollection selected successfully\r\nDocument updated successfully\r\nUpdated document {\r\n\"name\": \"MongoDB Tutorial\"\r\n}<\/pre>\n
6. Delete a Document<\/h3>\n
remove() method is used to delete a document in MongoDB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Following is the code to delete a document:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n   \/\/ connect to mongodb\r\n   $m = new MongoClient();\r\n   echo \"Connection to database successfully\";\r\n\r\n   \/\/ select a database\r\n   $db = $m->examplesdb;\r\n   echo \"Database examplesdb selected\";\r\n   $collection = $db->examplescol;\r\n   echo \"Collection selected succsessfully\";\r\n\r\n   \/\/ now remove the document\r\n   $collection->remove(array(\"name\"=>\"MongoDB Tutorial\"),false);\r\n   echo \"Documents deleted successfully\";\r\n\r\n   \/\/ now display the available documents\r\n   $cursor = $collection->find();\r\n\r\n   \/\/ iterate cursor to display title of documents\r\n   echo \"Updated document\";\r\n\r\n   foreach ($cursor as $document) {\r\n   echo $document[\"name\"] . \"\\n\";\r\n }\r\n?><\/pre>\n
After executing the program you will get the following output:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Connection to the database successfully<\/p>\n
Database examplesdb selected<\/p>\n
Collection selected successfully<\/p>\n
Documents deleted successfully<\/p>\n
