To delete data from MongoDB using PHP, you can use the deleteOne() or deleteMany() methods of the MongoDB PHP Library.
Here's an example code snippet that shows how to delete a single document from a collection in MongoDB using PHP:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
<?php //connect to MongoDB server $mongoClient = new MongoDBClient("mongodb://localhost:27017"); //select database and collection $database = $mongoClient->mydatabase; $collection = $database->mycollection; //delete a single document from the collection $deleteResult = $collection->deleteOne(['_id' => new MongoDBBSONObjectID('document_id_here')]); //check if the document was successfully deleted if ($deleteResult->getDeletedCount() === 1) { echo "Document deleted successfully"; } else { echo "Document not found or not deleted"; } ?> |
In the above example, the deleteOne() method is used to delete a single document from the mycollection collection in the mydatabase database. The '_id' field is used to identify the document to be deleted, and the new MongoDBBSONObjectID('document_id_here') creates a new MongoDB ObjectID instance with the value of the document's _id field.
Similarly, to delete multiple documents from a collection, you can use the deleteMany() method. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
<?php //connect to MongoDB server $mongoClient = new MongoDBClient("mongodb://localhost:27017"); //select database and collection $database = $mongoClient->mydatabase; $collection = $database->mycollection; //delete all documents with age greater than 30 $deleteResult = $collection->deleteMany(['age' => ['$gt' => 30]]); //check if the documents were successfully deleted if ($deleteResult->getDeletedCount() > 0) { echo "Documents deleted successfully"; } else { echo "No documents found or not deleted"; } ?> |
In the above example, the deleteMany() method is used to delete all documents from the mycollection collection in the mydatabase database where the age field is greater than 30. The $gt operator is used to specify the condition for the age field. The getDeletedCount() method is used to check the number of documents deleted.
