note 97539 added to mongo.tutorial

Make sure array keys consecutive before inserting. As of 1.0.6 driver, the following will end up as an object of key:value pairs, instead of an array, because it's trying to maintain the 0 and 2 keys: $array = array('a', 'b', 'c'); unset($array[1]); $document = array( 'embedded' => $array, ); // assuming local $mongo = new Mongo(); $mongo->test->test->insert($document); mongodb result: { "_id" : ObjectId(...), "embedded" : { "0" : "a", "2" : "c" } } This is bad if you plan on indexing the embedded property as an array because objects and arrays are indexed differently. Whether the behaviour will change or not, this is logged here: http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PHP-104 If you know about it, it's not major, just use a sort() before inserting, or use array_* methods to remove elements instead of unset() -- anything that will re-adjust keys. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 203.158.45.230 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.tutorial.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97539 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97539 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97539 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
