MongoDB::__construct

(PECL mongo >=0.9.0)

MongoDB::__constructCreates a new database


Description

public MongoDB::__construct ( MongoClient $conn , string $name )

This method is not meant to be called directly. The preferred way to create an instance of MongoDB is through MongoClient::__get() or MongoClient::selectDB().

If you're ignoring the previous paragraph and want to call it directly you can do so:

<?php$m = new MongoClient();$db = new MongoDB($m, 'mydbname');?>

But don't. Isn't this much nicer:

<?php$m = new MongoClient();$db = $m->mydbname;// or, if the name contains weird characters:$db = $m->selectDB('my,db:name');?>

Parameters

MongoClient conn
Database connection.
name
Database name.


Return Values

Returns the database.


Errors/Exceptions

Throws default exception if the database name is invalid.
