MongoDBRef::get

(PECL mongo >= 0.9.0)

MongoDBRef::get — Fetches the object pointed to by a reference

This extension that defines this class is deprecated. Instead, the MongoDB extension should be used. There is no equivalent for this class in the new extension.

The concept of database references, and hence this class, has been deprecated.

Description

public static MongoDBRef::get(MongoDB $db, array $ref): array

Parameters

db

Database to use.

ref

Reference to fetch.

Return Values

Returns the document to which the reference refers or null if the document does not exist (the reference is broken).

Examples

Example #1 MongoCollection::createDBRef() example

<?php

// get $person out of the db
$person = $people->findOne();

// dereference the address
$address = MongoDBRef::get($people->db, $person['address']);

?>
