Mongo::__get

(PECL mongo >=1.0.2)

Mongo::__getGets a database

Description

public MongoDB Mongo::__get ( string $dbname )

This is the cleanest way of getting a database. If the database name has any special characters, Mongo::selectDB() will need to be used. However, in most cases, this should be sufficient.

<?php

$mongo 
= new Mongo();

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

?>

Parameters

dbname

The database name.

Return Values

Returns a new db object.

Errors/Exceptions

Throws a generic exception if the database name is invalid.
