MongoGridFS::storeFile — Stores a file in the database
$filename
[, array $metadata
= array()
[, array $options
= array()
]] )
filename
Name of the file to store.
metadata
Other metadata fields to include in the file document.
Note:
These fields may also overwrite those that would be created automatically by the driver, as described in the MongoDB core documentation for the » files collection. Some practical use cases for this behavior would be to specify a custom chunkSize or _id for the file.
options
Options for the store.
"w"
See WriteConcerns. The default value for MongoClient is 1.
Returns the _id of the saved file document. This will be a generated MongoId unless an _id was explicitly specified in the extra
parameter.
Throws MongoCursorException if the "w" option is set and the write fails.
Throws MongoCursorTimeoutException if the "w" option is set to a value greater than one and the operation takes longer than MongoCursor::$timeout milliseconds to complete. This does not kill the operation on the server, it is a client-side timeout. The operation in MongoCollection::$wtimeout is milliseconds.
Example #1 MongoGridFS::storeFile() with additional metadata
<?php
$m = new MongoClient();
$gridfs = $m->selectDB('test')->getGridFS();
$id = $gridfs->storeFile('example.txt', array('contentType' => 'plain/text'));
$gridfsFile = $gridfs->get($id);
var_dump($gridfsFile->file);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(7) { ["_id"]=> object(MongoId)#6 (0) { } ["contentType"]=> string(10) "plain/text" ["filename"]=> string(11) "example.txt" ["uploadDate"]=> object(MongoDate)#7 (0) { } ["length"]=> int(26) ["chunkSize"]=> int(262144) ["md5"]=> string(32) "c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b" }
