header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: DELETE");
header("Access-Control-Max-Age: 3600");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Authorization, X-Requested-With");

// include database file
include_once 'db.php';
$dbname = 'dbprakt';
$collection = 'classroom';

//DB connection
$db = new DbManager();
$conn = $db->getConnection();

//record to delete
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);

//_id field value
$name = $data->{"name"};

// delete record
$delete = new MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite();

    ["name" => $name]
);
$result = $conn->executeBulkWrite("$dbname.$collection", $delete);

    );
}
?>

Answer 1

your json_decode pass the seccond parameter is true which mean $data is array, it not an object either change

json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true)

to

json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'))

or using $data as array $data["name"]

associative When true, JSON objects will be returned as associative arrays; when false, JSON objects will be returned as objects. When null, JSON objects will be returned as associative arrays or objects depending on whether JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY is set in the flags.
