Getting a Database
To select a database, use:
<?php$connection = new MongoClient();$db = $connection->dbname;?>
The database does not need to be created in advance, you can create new databases by selecting them.
Be careful of typos! You can inadvertently create a new database, which can
cause confusing errors (here name
is misspelled as
anme
in the second selection:
<?php$connection = new MongoClient();$db = $connection->mybiglongdbname;// do some stuff$db = $connection->mybiglongdbanme;// now connected to a different database!?>
