Inserting a Document
Associative arrays are the basic object that can be
saved to a collection in the database. A somewhat random “document”
might be:
<?php
$doc = array(
"name" => "MongoDB",
"type" => "database",
"count" => 1,
"info" => (object)array( "x" => 203, "y" => 102),
"versions" => array("0.9.7", "0.9.8", "0.9.9")
);
?>Note that you can have nested arrays and objects.
The driver will always store an associative array as an object in
the database. A numerically indexed array is stored as an array in
case the keys start at 0 and are not interrupted, and as an object
if the array keys don’t start at 0 or have gaps (ie: 0, 1, 4,
5).
To insert this document, use MongoCollection::insert():
<?php
$connection = new MongoClient();
$collection = $connection->database->collectionName;
$collection->insert( $doc );
?>See Also
The API documentation on MongoCollection::insert() contains more
information about inserting data.
