How PHP uses MongoDB to convert and format data

Abstract: This article will introduce how to use PHP and MongoDB to process data conversion and formatting. When developing web applications, data conversion and formatting is a very common requirement. MongoDB is a non-relational database that provides a flexible document storage method that can easily store and operate data. PHP is a scripting language widely used on the server side. Used in conjunction with MongoDB, it can achieve efficient data conversion and formatting.

1. Install MongoDB extension
   Before you start using MongoDB, you first need to install the MongoDB extension in the PHP environment. You can install the extension using the following command:

   pecl install mongodb

   Or enable the extension by editing the php.ini file:

   extension=mongodb.so

2. Connect to MongoDB database
   Use the following code to connect MongoDB database:

   $manager = new MongoDBDriverManager("mongodb://localhost:27017");

   It is assumed that the MongoDB database is running on the default port 27017 of the local host. If a different hostname or port number is used, the connection string can be modified accordingly.

3. Querying and processing data
   Below is a sample code that demonstrates how to query data and convert and format it:

   $query = new MongoDBDriverQuery([]);
   $cursor = $manager->executeQuery('testDB.testCollection', $query);
   
   foreach ($cursor as $document) {
    // 转换为关联数组
    $array = (array)$document;
   
    // 格式化日期
    $date = date('Y-m-d', $array['timestamp']->toDateTime()->getTimestamp());
   
    // 输出结果
    echo "ID: " . $array['_id'] . "
   ";
    echo "标题: " . $array['title'] . "
   ";
    echo "内容: " . $array['content'] . "
   ";
    echo "日期: " . $date . "
   ";
    echo "------------------------
   ";
   }

   The above code is sent first An empty condition query obtains a cursor object. Then iterate through each document in the cursor via a foreach loop.

In the loop, first use cast to convert the document into an associative array, which makes it easier to access the fields in the document. Then use the toDateTime method to convert the MongoDB date object into a PHP DateTime object, and then use the date function to format the date.

Finally, the ID, title, content and date of the document are output inside the loop, and different documents are separated by separators.

4. Conversion and formatting of inserted data
   When inserting data, the data may need to be converted and formatted to comply with the requirements of the database. The following is a sample code for inserting data:

   $document = [
    '_id' => new MongoDBBSONObjectID(),
    'title' => 'Hello World',
    'content' => 'This is a test content.',
    'timestamp' => new MongoDBBSONUTCDateTime()
   ];
   
   $bulk = new MongoDBDriverBulkWrite();
   $bulk->insert($document);
   
   $manager->executeBulkWrite('testDB.testCollection', $bulk);

   The above code first creates an associative array $document containing the data that needs to be inserted. Among them, the '_id' field is an automatically generated unique ID, 'title' and 'content' are the document data that need to be inserted, and the 'timestamp' field is a MongoDB date object using UTC time.

Then create a batch write operation object $bulk, insert $document into the batch write operation, and use the executeBulkWrite method to write the data to the database.

Conclusion:
Through the above introduction, we can see that it is very simple to use PHP and MongoDB to convert and format data. MongoDB provides a wealth of data types and operation methods, and combined with PHP's powerful data processing capabilities, it can process and operate data more conveniently.
