MongoDB::commandExecute a database command

publicarrayMongoDB::commandarraycommandarrayoptionsarray()
Almost everything that is not a CRUD operation can be done with a database command.
Need to know the database version? There's a command for that. Need to do aggregation?
There's a command for that. Need to turn up logging? You get the idea.
This method is identical to:
selectCollection('$cmd')->findOne($data);
}

&reftitle.parameters;
command
The query to send.
options
This parameter is an associative array of the form
array("optionname" => <boolean>, ...). Currently
supported options are:
"timeout"
Integer, defaults to Mongo::$timeout. If
"safe" is set, this sets how long (in milliseconds) for the client to
wait for a database response. If the database does not respond within
the timeout period, a MongoCursorTimeoutException
will be thrown.
&reftitle.changelog;
&Version;&Description;1.2.0
Added options parameter with a single option:
timeout.
&reftitle.returnvalues;
Returns database response.

Finding all of the distinct values for a key.

$people->insert(array("name" => "Molly", "age" => 87));

foreach ($ages['values'] as $age) {

<function>MongoDB::command</function> MapReduce example
Get all users with at least on "sale" event, and how many times each
of these users has had a sale.
insert(array("user_id" => $id,
"type" => $type,
"time" => new MongoDate(),
"desc" => $description));
// construct map and reduce functions
$map = new MongoCode("function() { emit(this.user_id,1); }");
$reduce = new MongoCode("function(k, vals) { ".
"var sum = 0;".
"for (var i in vals) {".
"sum += vals[i];".
"}".
"return sum; }");
$sales = $db->command(array(
"mapreduce" => "events",
"map" => $map,
"reduce" => $reduce,
"query" => array("type" => "sale"),
"out" => array("merge" => "eventCounts")));
$users = $db->selectCollection($sales['result'])->find();
foreach ($users as $user) {
echo "{$user['_id']} had {$user['value']} sale(s).\n";

Using <classname>MongoCode</classname>
This example uses MongoCode, which can also take a
scope argument. However, at the moment, MongoDB does not support using
scopes in MapReduce. If you would like to use client-side variables in the
MapReduce functions, you can add them to the global scope by using the
optional scope field with the database command. See the
MapReduce documentation
for more information.
The <literal>out</literal> argument
Before 1.8.0, the out argument was optional. If you did
not use it, MapReduce results would be written to a temporary collection,
which would be deleted when your connection was closed. In 1.8.0+, the
out argument is required. See the
MapReduce documentation
for more information.
If you are going to be using MapReduce, Prajwal Tuladhar created an API for
Mongo PHP users which provides a nicer interface than the bare command. You
can download it from
Github
and there is a
blog post
on how to use it.
