MongoCollection::update
(PECL mongo >=0.9.0)
MongoCollection::update — Update records based on a given criteria
Description
$criteria
, array $new_object
[, array $options = array()
] )Parameters
-
criteria -
Query criteria for the documents to update.
-
new_object -
The object used to update the matched documents. This may either contain update operators (for modifying specific fields) or be a replacement document.
-
options -
An array of options for the update operation. Currently available options include:
-
"upsert"
If no document matches
$criteria, a new document will be inserted.If a new document would be inserted and
$new_objectcontains atomic modifiers (i.e. $ operators), those operations will be applied to the$criteriaparameter to create the new document. If$new_objectdoes not contain atomic modifiers, it will be used as-is for the inserted document. See the upsert examples below for more information. -
"multiple"
All documents matching $criteria will be updated. MongoCollection::update() has exactly the opposite behavior of MongoCollection::remove(): it updates one document by default, not all matching documents. It is recommended that you always specify whether you want to update multiple documents or a single document, as the database may change its default behavior at some point in the future.
"fsync"
Boolean, defaults to
FALSE. If journaling is enabled, it works exactly like "j". If journaling is not enabled, the write operation blocks until it is synced to database files on disk. IfTRUE, an acknowledged insert is implied and this option will override setting "w" to 0.Note: If journaling is enabled, users are strongly encouraged to use the "j" option instead of "fsync". Do not use "fsync" and "j" simultaneously, as that will result in an error.
"j"
Boolean, defaults to
FALSE. Forces the write operation to block until it is synced to the journal on disk. IfTRUE, an acknowledged write is implied and this option will override setting "w" to 0.Note: If this option is used and journaling is disabled, MongoDB 2.6+ will raise an error and the write will fail; older server versions will simply ignore the option.
"socketTimeoutMS"
Integer, defaults to MongoCursor::$timeout. If acknowledged writes are used, 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.
"w"
See Write Concerns. The default value for MongoClient is 1.
"wTimeoutMS"
How long to wait for write concern acknowledgement. The default value for MongoClient is 10000 milliseconds.
The following options are deprecated and should no longer be used:
"safe"
Deprecated. Please use the write concern "w" option.
"timeout"
Deprecated alias for "socketTimeoutMS".
"wtimeout"
Deprecated alias for "wTimeoutMS".
-
Return Values
Returns an array containing the status of the update if the
"w" option is set. Otherwise, returns TRUE.
Fields in the status array are described in the documentation for MongoCollection::insert().
Errors/Exceptions
Throws MongoCursorException if the "w" option is set and the write fails.
Throws MongoCursorTimeoutException if the "w" option is set to a value greater than one and the operation takes longer than MongoCursor::$timeout milliseconds to complete. This does not kill the operation on the server, it is a client-side timeout. The operation in MongoCollection::$wtimeout is milliseconds.

Examples
Example #1 MongoCollection::update()
Adding an address field to a document.
<?php
$c->insert(array("firstname" => "Bob", "lastname" => "Jones" ));
$newdata = array('$set' => array("address" => "1 Smith Lane"));
$c->update(array("firstname" => "Bob"), $newdata);
var_dump($c->findOne(array("firstname" => "Bob")));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(4) {
["_id"]=>
object(MongoId)#6 (0) {
}
["firstname"]=>
string(3) "Bob"
["lastname"]=>
string(5) "Jones"
["address"]=>
string(12) "1 Smith Lane"
}
Example #2 MongoCollection::update() upsert examples
Upserts can simplify code, as a single line can create the document if it
does not exist (based on $criteria), or update an
existing document if it matches.
In the following example, $new_object contains an
atomic modifier. Since the collection is empty and upsert must insert a new
document, it will apply those operations to the
$criteria parameter in order to create the document.
<?php
$c->drop();
$c->update(
array("uri" => "/summer_pics"),
array('$inc' => array("page hits" => 1)),
array("upsert" => true)
);
var_dump($c->findOne());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(3) {
["_id"]=>
object(MongoId)#9 (0) {
}
["uri"]=>
string(12) "/summer_pics"
["page hits"]=>
int(1)
}
If $new_object does not contain atomic modifiers
(i.e. $ operators), upsert will use
$new_object as-is for the new document. This matches
the behavior of a normal update, where not using atomic modifiers causes the
document to be overwritten.
<?php
$c->drop();
$c->update(
array("name" => "joe"),
array("username" => "joe312", "createdAt" => new MongoDate()),
array("upsert" => true)
);
var_dump($c->findOne());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(3) {
["_id"]=>
object(MongoId)#10 (0) {
}
["username"]=>
string(6) "joe312"
["createdAt"]=>
object(MongoDate)#4 (0) {
}
}
Example #3 MongoCollection::update() multiple example
By default, MongoCollection::update() will only update
the first document matching $criteria that it
finds. Using the "multiple" option can override this behavior, if needed.
This example adds a "gift" field to every person whose birthday is in the next day.
<?php
$today = array('$gt' => new MongoDate(), '$lt' => new MongoDate(strtotime("+1 day")));
$people->update(
array("birthday" => $today),
array('$set' => array('gift' => $surprise)),
array("multiple" => true)
);
?>

The return type of update changed in 1.09 if you are using safe => TRUE. It now returns something that looks like the info returned by MongoDB::lastError:
Array
(
[err] =>
[updatedExisting] => 1
[n] => 1
[ok] => 1
)
Do note, for incrementing a value using $inc, typecast the value to an integer before passing the new object to update().
<?php
$votes = (int) $votes;
$newData = array('$inc' => array('votes'=>$votes));
$c->update(array("firstname" => "Bob"), $newData);
?>
This is especially noteworthy, if you are taking values from $_GET and pushing them for increment.
Please note under optional third parameter "options":
While the official MongoDB documentation references the keyword "multi" to flag the use of multiple updates, the PHP implementation uses the key "multiple" instead.
This may cause a little confusion if you're basing your keys on the OFFICIAL MongoDB documentation.
For anyone referencing records by the Mongo _id object, it's important to recognise that it is in fact an object, and not a string.
If you have a record with a Mongo ID of say "4e519d5118617e88f27ea8cd" that you are trying to retrieve or update, you cannot search for it using something like:
<?php
$m = new Mongo();
$db = $m->selectDB('db');
$collection = 'collection';
$db->$collection->findOne(array('_id', '4e519d5118617e88f27ea8cd'));
?>
There is some documentation that mentions simple conversion to string will solve this, but I have found the only reliable way to locate records based on their ID is to first pass it to MondoID(), then use that for reference.
Something like this will be far more reliable:
<?php
$m = new Mongo();
$db = $m->selectDB('db');
$collection = 'collection';
$mongoID = new MongoID('4e519d5118617e88f27ea8cd');
$db->$collection->findOne(array('_id', $mongoID));
?>
This may prove useful for anyone using the ID object like an auto-increment database key would be used in MySQL or similar.
if you want emulate on mongoDb "insert on duplicate key update" in SQL notation, you must use flag "upsert" with "$set" in "update" operation.
In this sample uses unique key (user id and product id) and date user visit product:page. Each execute this code make update 'lasttime' field:
<?php
$client = new MongoClient(MONGO_DB);
$users = $client->users;
$last_views = $users->createCollection('last_views');
// create unique index
$result = $last_views->ensureIndex(
array("user_id" => 1, "warecode" => 1),
array("unique" => 1)
);
$uviews = new stdClass();
$uviews->user_id = $this->user_id;
$uviews->warecode = $this->warecode;
$res = $users->last_views->update(
$uviews,
array('$set' => array('lasttime' => new MongoTimestamp())),
array('upsert' => true)
);
?>
Re. nerds @ limeworks comment:Thanks for your helpful tip - right what I was looking for. One note, though: Instead of comma, it's a => as in:
<?php
...->findOne(array('_id' => $mongoID);
?>
A need for an app was to add a new entry to the industries collection if it didn't already exist, and pass that "string" _id back to the caller to add it to the businesses collection (as a string also - database design by others.... :))
function GetIndustryID($db, $industry_name_eng, $industry_name_rus) {
// $db is the MongoDB database object
// $industry_name_eng is English of the industry name
// $industry_name_rus is Russian of the industry name
if ( $industry_name_eng == "" && $industry_name_rus == "" ) {
return "";
exit;
}
// lookup russian version
// of industry name from industries collection and try to return the _id
// if not found, add this as a new document and return its _id
// $c_ind = industry collection object
// "industries" is the collection name
$c_ind = $db->industries;
// you could use findOne here....
$cursor = $c_ind->find(array('industry_name.russian' => $industry_name_rus));
if ( $cursor->hasNext() ) {
foreach ( $cursor as $document ) {
$id = $document['_id'];
}
} else {
// not found here - go add it
$document = array(
"industry_id" => "",
"industry_name" => array("english" => $industry_name_eng, "russian" => $industry_name_rus )
);
$db->industries->insert($document);
$id = $document['_id'];
// update the industry_id in the industries collection
// with the id returned - because we just added it, and
// we need the industry_id the same as the _id
// see: mongocollection.update
// update ( array $criteria , array $new_object [, array $options = array() ] )
// note how I cast the MongoID "object" to a string
$document['industry_id'] = (string)$id;
// the $id in the next line is the ObjectID, not a string.
$db->industries->update(array("_id" => $id), $document, array("upsert" => true));
}
return (string)$id;
}
Results: (using RoboMongo)
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5427acf7a495dbd420b2e2ea"),
"industry_id" : "5427acf7a495dbd420b2e2ea",
"industry_name" : {
"english" : "Oil and Gas",
"russian" : "Нефть, Газ, Энергетика"
}
}
It took me ages to work this out. Hope it helps someone else.
$inc and set in one statement<?php
$m = new Mongo();
$db = $m->selectDB('db');
$collection = 'collection';
$db->$collection->insert(array("firstname" => "Nanhe", "lastname" => "Kumar","attempt"=>1 ));
$newdata = array('$inc'=>array("attempt"=>1),'$set' => array("address" => "Delhi India"));
$db->$collection->update(array("firstname" => "Nanhe"), $newdata);
