I've been trying to experiment with MongoDb, and when I run the script to connect, it can't because the password uses the @ symbol.
To connect to MongoDb
mongodb://username:password@localhost
But as my password to connect to MongoDb uses the @ symbol, it can't connect due to the @ symbol.
For example;
new MongoClient("mongodb://mongo:p@assword@localhost);
Will throw the following error;
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'MongoConnectionException' with message 'Failed to connect to: assword!@localhost:27017: Couldn't get host info for assword!@localhost'
As you can see, it thinks the first @ in the password is the seperator for password and host.
Is there a way to connect, and allow the @ symbol in the password when using MongoClient?
https://www.php.net/manual/en/mongoclient.construct.php you can pass the username and password as an options array
new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017", array("username" => "joe", "password" => "test"));
