PHP & MongoDB – Delete Document
First step to do any operation is to create a Manager instance.
// Connect to MongoDB using Manager Instance
$manager = new MongoDBDriverManager("mongodb://localhost:27017");
Second step is to prepare and execute a bulkWrite object to delete record(s) in the collection.
// Create a BulkWrite Object
$bulk = new MongoDBDriverBulkWrite([''ordered'' => true]);
$bulk->delete([''First_Name'' => "Mahesh"]);
// Execute the commands.
$result = $manager->executeBulkWrite(''myDb.sampleCollection'', $bulk);
Example
Try the following example to delete a document of a collection in MongoDB server −
Copy and paste the following example as mongodb_example.php −
<?php
try {
$bulk = new MongoDBDriverBulkWrite([''ordered'' => true]);
$bulk->delete([''First_Name'' => "Mahesh"]);
// connect to mongodb
$manager = new MongoDBDriverManager("mongodb://localhost:27017");
$result = $manager->executeBulkWrite(''myDb.sampleCollection'', $bulk);
echo "Document deleted."
} catch (MongoDBDriverExceptionException $e) {
echo "Exception:", $e->getMessage(), "n";
}
?>
