thanks in advance.

the page referring low-level php driver mongodb. api same hhvm driver mongodb. documentation both of them same, , can found @ http://docs.php.net/manual/en/set.mongodb.php

the driver written bare bone layer talk mongodb, , therefore misses many convenience features. instead, these convenience methods have been split out layer written in php, mongodb library. using library should preferred way of interacting mongodb.

the library needs installed composer, package manager php. see get composer: installation on linux/osx

for example:

composer require "mongodb/mongodb=^1.0.0" 

once have installed, can try connecting using:

<?php  require 'vendor/autoload.php';  $collection = (new mongodb\client("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017"))->dbname->coll; ?>
