MongoDB query in PHP

I have read through several problems that's the same as mine but I still couldn't understand how to query MongoDB inside PHP as I am new to both platforms.

Here's my query in MongoDB

db.tweets.find({},{"coordinates.coordinates": 1});

My initial PHP code

$document = $collection->find({},{"coordinates.coordinates": 1});

foreach($document as $doc)
{
    var_dump($doc);
}

My code returns an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:\xampp\htdocs\gmaps_thesis\main.php on line 20
Solution

  • Try the following code:

    $collection->find([],['coordinates.coordinates' => 1]);

    PHP uses [] for object and array notation instead of JavaScript's {}
