To count document elements inside a MongoDB collection using PHP, you can use the count() method provided by the MongoDB PHP library. Here is an example code snippet to achieve this:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14

16
17
18
<?php
// Connect to MongoDB
$manager = new MongoDBDriverManager("mongodb://localhost:27017");

// Select the database and collection
$database = "your_database";
$collection = "your_collection";

// Create a query to count document elements
$query = new MongoDBDriverQuery([]);

// Execute the query and get the count of documents
$cursor = $manager->executeQuery("$database.$collection", $query);
$count = iterator_count($cursor);

// Output the count
echo "Total document elements in the collection: " . $count;
?>


Make sure to replace "mongodb://localhost:27017" with the connection string to your MongoDB instance, "your_database" with the name of your database, and "your_collection" with the name of your collection. This code snippet will connect to your MongoDB, query the collection to count document elements, and output the total count.
