MONGOGRIDFS.STOREBYTES(3) 1 MONGOGRIDFS.STOREBYTES(3)
MongoGridFS::storeBytes - Stores a string of bytes in the database
SYNOPSIS
public mixed MongoGridFS::storeBytes (string $bytes, [array $metadata = array()], [array $options = array()])
DESCRIPTION
PARAMETERS
o $bytes
- String of bytes to store.
o $metadata
- Other metadata fields to include in the file document.
Note
These fields may also overwrite those that would be created automatically by the driver, as described in the MongoDB core
documentation for the files collection. Some practical use cases for this behavior would be to specify a custom chunkSize or
_id for the file.
o $options
- An array of options for the insert operations executed against the chunks and files collections. See MongoCollection.insert(3)
for documentation on these these options.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the _id of the saved file document. This will be a generated MongoId unless an _id was explicitly specified in the $metadata param-
eter.
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
Throws MongoGridFSException if there is an error inserting into the chunks or files collections.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
MongoGridFS.storeBytes(3) with additional metadata
<?php
$m = new MongoClient();
$gridfs = $m->selectDB('test')->getGridFS();
$bytes = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
$id = $gridfs->storeBytes($bytes, array('_id' => 'alphabet'));
$gridfsFile = $gridfs->get($id);
var_dump($gridfsFile->file);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
array(7) {
["_id"]=>
string(8) "alphabet"
["uploadDate"]=>
object(MongoDate)#7(0) {
}
["length"]=>
int(26)
["chunkSize"]=>
int(262144)
["md5"]=>
string(32) "c3fcd3d76192e4007dfb496cca67e13b"
}
