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"; } ?>
