    Adding Multiple Documents

    In order to do more interesting things with
    queries, let’s add multiple simple documents to the collection.
    These documents will just be of the form array( “i” =>
    value );     and we can do this
    fairly efficiently in a loop:

    <?php
    $connection     = new MongoClient();
    $collection = $connection->database->collectionName;

    for ( $i = 0; $i < 100; $i++ )
    {
            $collection->insert( array( 'i' => $i, "field{$i}" => $i * 2 ) );
    }
    ?>

    Notice that we can insert arrays with different
    keys into the same collection. This aspect is what we mean when we
    say that MongoDB is “schema-free”. In the example above each
    document has an i field, but also a field name in the form
    of field + $i.
