MongoDB - PHP

To use MongoDB with PHP, you need to use MongoDB PHP driver. Download the driver from the url Download PHP Driver. Make sure to download the latest release of it. Now unzip the archive and put php_mongo.dll in your PHP extension directory ("ext" by default) and add the following line to your php.ini file −

extension = php_mongo.dll


Make a Connection and Select a Database

To make a connection, you need to specify the database name, if the database doesn't exist then MongoDB creates it automatically.

Following is the code snippet to connect to the database −

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
	
   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


Create a Collection

Following is the code snippet to create a collection −

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
   echo "Connection to database successfully";
	
   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;
   echo "Database mydb selected";
   $collection = $db->createCollection("mycol");
   echo "Collection created succsessfully";
?>

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

Connection to database successfully
Database mydb selected
Collection created succsessfully


Insert a Document

To insert a document into MongoDB, insert() method is used.

Following is the code snippet to insert a document −

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
   echo "Connection to database successfully";
	
   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;
   echo "Database mydb selected";
   $collection = $db->mycol;
   echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
	
   $document = array( 
      "title" => "MongoDB", 
      "description" => "database", 
      "likes" => 100,
      "url" => "http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mongodb/",
      "by" => "tutorials point"
   );
	
   $collection->insert($document);
   echo "Document inserted successfully";
?>

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

Connection to database successfully
Database mydb selected
Collection selected succsessfully
Document inserted successfully


Find All Documents

To select all documents from the collection, find() method is used.

Following is the code snippet to select all documents −

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
   echo "Connection to database successfully";
	
   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;
   echo "Database mydb selected";
   $collection = $db->mycol;
   echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
   $cursor = $collection->find();
   // iterate cursor to display title of documents
	
   foreach ($cursor as $document) {
      echo $document["title"] . "\n";
   }
?>

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

Connection to database successfully
Database mydb selected
Collection selected succsessfully {
   "title": "MongoDB"
}


Update a Document

To update a document, you need to use the update() method.

In the following example, we will update the title of inserted document to MongoDB Tutorial. Following is the code snippet to update a document −

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
   echo "Connection to database successfully";
	
   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;
   echo "Database mydb selected";
   $collection = $db->mycol;
   echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
   // now update the document
   $collection->update(array("title"=>"MongoDB"), 
      array('$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";
   }
?>

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

Connection to database successfully
Database mydb selected
Collection selected succsessfully
Document updated successfully
Updated document {
   "title": "MongoDB Tutorial"
}


Delete a Document

To delete a document, you need to use remove() method.

In the following example, we will remove the documents that has the title MongoDB Tutorial. Following is the code snippet to delete a document −

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
   echo "Connection to database successfully";
	
   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;
   echo "Database mydb selected";
   $collection = $db->mycol;
   echo "Collection selected succsessfully";
   
   // now remove the document
   $collection->remove(array("title"=>"MongoDB Tutorial"),false);
   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 −

Connection to database successfully
Database mydb selected
Collection selected successfully
Documents deleted successfully 

In the above example, the second parameter is boolean type and used for justOne field of remove() method.

Java : Variables Declaring

[1]. Java Variables Variables are containers for storing data values. In Java, there are different types of variables, for example: String - stores text, such as "Hello". String values are surrounded by double quotes int - stores integers (whole numbers), without decimals, such as 123 or -123 float - stores floating point numbers, with decimals, such as 19.99 or -19.99 char - stores single characters, such as 'a' or 'B'. Char values are surrounded by single quotes boolean - stores values with two states: true or false [2]. Declaring (Creating) Variables To create a variable, you must specify the type and assign it a value: Syntax type variable = value ; Where type is one of Java's types (such as int or String), and variable is the name of the variable (such as x or name). The equal sign is used to assign values to the variable. To create a variable that should store text, look at the following example: Example Create a variable called  name  of type  Stri

LINUX Move and copy files using SSH

Often you will need to move one or more files/folders or copy them to a different location. You can do so easily using an SSH connection. The commands which you would need to use are mv (short from move) and cp (short from copy). The mv command syntax looks like this: mv configuration.php-dist configuration.php By issuing the above command we will move (rename) the file configuration.php-dist to configuration.php. You can also use mv to move a whole directory and its content: mv includes/* ./ This will move all files (and folders) in the includes/ directory to the current working directory. In some cases however, we will need to only update the files and move only files that were changed, which we can do by passing ‘ -u ’ as argument to the command: mv -u includes/* admin/includes The copy (cp) command works the same way as mv, but instead of moving the files/folders it copies them. For example: cp configuration.php-dist configuration.php The command will copy the co
