[SOLVED] php mongo simple update not working

trscookie · 08-17-2016, 04:08 AM

Hello all,

I have written a simple php update command in php to update a mongo collection, I have followed example guides and the documentation, however for some reason my code will not update the collection in question.

Additionally, there are no errors, so I am at a bit of a loss with this one:

Code:

    $find = array('_id' => new MongoId($_id));
    $update = array('$set' => array('admin' => 'false'));
    $db->user->update($find, $update);

Example collection

Code:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("57ad95301816a3bd078b4567"),
    "admin" : "false",
    "created_dstamp" : "2016-08-12 19:21:52",
    "email" : "yo@yo.yo",
    "last_login" : null,
    "password" : "7f49e93c9cae6b0d40e3c2f1154fe6",
    "salt" : "804551d0fa708e93cf1163d",
}

Ok, looks like I am still having issues with this, Im not sure what happened, but I still cannot set the admin value to false:

Code:

    $find = array('_id' => '57ad95301816a3bd078b4567');
    $update = array('$set' => array('admin' => 'hsjgahsgdas'));
    $db->user->update($find, $update);

If anyone could help that would be great, I have tried also using 'new MongoId('57ad95301816a3bd078b4567')' and 'Object('57ad95301816a3bd078b4567')', however it still wont update the collection

This worked in the end:

Code:

    $f = array('_id' => new MongoId("{$_GET['id']}"));
    $db->user->update($f, array('$set' => array('admin' => false)));
