PHP Mongodb driver connection and insert


ludo1960

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

I've installed the mongoDB PHP driver using "sudo pecl install mongodb"

Testing shows driver is installed correctly and it appears nicely in phpinfo():

ludo@aegir:~$ php7.2 -i | grep -i mongodb
mongodb
MongoDB support => enabled
MongoDB extension version => 1.5.3
MongoDB extension stability => stable
mongodb.debug => no value => no value 

For connecting I've got:

   $db = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017"); 

Now I want to define a collection and insert a record, i've been using code from here  https://www.php.net/manual/en/set.mongodb.php:

$collection = $db->mydatabase->mytable;

$result = $collection->insertOne( [ 'name' => 'test', 'item' => 'testitem' ] );

But this fails  Notice: Undefined property: MongoDB\Driver\Manager::$mydatabase in /var/www....

Has anyone got a workingg example of defining and inserting into mongoDB. Seems the driver was updated fairly recently and so stuff on the internet is not always relevant.

unfamiliar with Mongodb so this may be a silly question but what is this line saying:

 $db = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017"); 

Is "MongoDB\Driver\Manager"  a function name that is part of the mongodb interface?   To me it looks more like a path (without quotes) so I am puzzled.
