MongoClient::__get

Gets a database

This extension that defines this method is deprecated. Instead, the MongoDB extension should be used. There is no equivalent for this method in the new extension, but there is an alternative in the PHP library:

» MongoDB\Client::__get()

Beschreibung

public MongoDB MongoClient::__get ( string $dbname )

This is the cleanest way of getting a database. If the database name has any special characters, MongoClient::selectDB will need to be used; however, this should be sufficient for most cases.


<?php

$mongo = new MongoClient();

// the following two lines are equivalent
$db = $mongo->selectDB("foo");
$db = $mongo->foo;

?>

Parameter-Liste

dbname: The database name.

Rückgabewerte

Returns a new db object.

Fehler/Exceptions

Throws a generic exception if the database name is invalid.
