echo "Connection to database successfully";


// select a database
$db = $m->mydb;

echo "Database mydb selected";


?>

When the program is executed, it will produce the following result −

Connection to database successfully


Database mydb selected

array('$set'=>array("title"=>"MongoDB Tutorial")));
echo "Document updated successfully";

// now display the updated document


$cursor = $collection->find();

// iterate cursor to display title of documents


echo "Updated document";

foreach ($cursor as $document) {


echo $document["title"] . "\n";

echo "Documents deleted successfully";

// now display the available documents


$cursor = $collection->find();

// iterate cursor to display title of documents


echo "Updated document";

foreach ($cursor as $document) {


echo $document["title"] . "\n";
}
?>

When the program is executed, it will produce the following result −
