Examples

Example #1 MongoCollection::toIndexString() example

This example shows how you can create an index name out of keys. Because this is a protected (static) method, you need to overload it in a child class first.

<?php
// Create inherited class to make the method "public".
class MyCollection extends MongoCollection
{
    static public function 
toIndexString($a)
    {
        return 
parent::toIndexString($a);
    }
}

echo 
MyCollection::toIndexString("foo"), "\n";
// Outputs: foo_1

echo MyCollection::toIndexString(array('name' => 1'age' => -1)), "\n";
// Outputs: name_1_age_-1
?>
