MongoCollection::remove
(PECL mongo >=0.9.0)
MongoCollection::remove — Remove records from this collection
Description
$criteria = array()
[, array $options = array()
]] ) : bool|arrayParameters
-
criteria -
Query criteria for the documents to delete.
-
options -
An array of options for the remove operation. Currently available options include:
"w"
See Write Concerns. The default value for MongoClient is 1.
-
"justOne"
Specify
TRUEto limit deletion to just one document. IfFALSEor omitted, all documents matching the criteria will be deleted. "fsync"
Boolean, defaults to
FALSE. If journaling is enabled, it works exactly like "j". If journaling is not enabled, the write operation blocks until it is synced to database files on disk. IfTRUE, an acknowledged insert is implied and this option will override setting "w" to 0.Note: If journaling is enabled, users are strongly encouraged to use the "j" option instead of "fsync". Do not use "fsync" and "j" simultaneously, as that will result in an error.
"j"
Boolean, defaults to
FALSE. Forces the write operation to block until it is synced to the journal on disk. IfTRUE, an acknowledged write is implied and this option will override setting "w" to 0.Note: If this option is used and journaling is disabled, MongoDB 2.6+ will raise an error and the write will fail; older server versions will simply ignore the option.
"socketTimeoutMS"
This option specifies the time limit, in milliseconds, for socket communication. If the server does not respond within the timeout period, a MongoCursorTimeoutException will be thrown and there will be no way to determine if the server actually handled the write or not. A value of -1 may be specified to block indefinitely. The default value for MongoClient is 30000 (30 seconds).
"w"
See Write Concerns. The default value for MongoClient is 1.
"wTimeoutMS"
This option specifies the time limit, in milliseconds, for write concern acknowledgement. It is only applicable when "w" is greater than 1, as the timeout pertains to replication. If the write concern is not satisfied within the time limit, a MongoCursorException will be thrown. A value of 0 may be specified to block indefinitely. The default value for MongoClient is 10000 (ten seconds).
The following options are deprecated and should no longer be used:
"safe"
Deprecated. Please use the write concern "w" option.
"timeout"
Deprecated alias for "socketTimeoutMS".
"wtimeout"
Deprecated alias for "wTimeoutMS".
Return Values
Returns an array containing the status of the removal if the
"w" option is set. Otherwise, returns TRUE.
Fields in the status array are described in the documentation for MongoCollection::insert().
Errors/Exceptions
Throws MongoCursorException if the "w" option is set and the write fails.
Throws MongoCursorTimeoutException if the "w" option is set to a value greater than one and the operation takes longer than MongoCursor::$timeout milliseconds to complete. This does not kill the operation on the server, it is a client-side timeout. The operation in MongoCollection::$wtimeout is milliseconds.

Added ability to pass integers to the "safe" option, which previously only accepted booleans. Added "fsync" option. The return type was changed to be an array containing error information if the "safe" option is used. Otherwise, a boolean is returned as before. |

Examples
Example #1 MongoCollection::remove() with justOne example
<?php
$radioactive = $db->radioactive;
// count how much more plutonium there is
$remaining = $radioactive->count(array('type' => 94));
$halflife = $remaining/2;
// remove half of it
while ($halflife > 0) {
$radioactive->remove(array('type' => 94), array("justOne" => true));
$halflife--;
}
?>
