note 101972 added to class.mongodb

based on what I've read and then applied, you don't have to specifically create a database or table, you just initialize it. Indeed, files are not being written inside /data/db, but they will the first moment you start adding data. So, I'm taking as an example Twitter, with no db defined, I'm still going to have the db available if I run this code: <?php define('TWITTER_API_VERSION', 1); date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Dublin"); try { $m = new Mongo(); // connect $db = $m->selectDB("example"); } catch ( MongoConnectionException $e ) { echo '<p>Couldn\'t connect to mongodb, is the "mongo" process running?</p>'; exit(); } $updates = file_get_contents( "http://api.twitter.com/". TWITTER_API_VERSION ."/statuses/public_timeline.json" ); $updates = json_decode( $updates ); if ( $updates && is_array( $updates ) && count( $updates ) ) { foreach ( $updates as $update ) { $db->users->insert( $update ); } } ?> Hope this was helpful! Good luck!
