To use mongodb with php you need to use mongodb php driver. You can download them from here -
https://s3.amazonaws.com/drivers.mongodb.org/php/index.html

Edit php.ini so that it can load mongo driver. Add this line(in Windows)

extension=php_mongo.dll

Now coming to the sample code Snipset

<?php

   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();
   echo "Connection Successful";

   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;
   echo "Database Selected";
   $collection = $db->mycol;
   echo "Collection Selected";

   $document = array( 
      "title" => "MongoDB", 
      "description" => "database", 
      "likes" => 100,
      "url" => "http://www.QueryHome.com/mongodb/",
      "by", "Salil"
   );

   $collection->insert($document);
   echo "Document inserted successfully";
?>

I recently upgraded the latest PHP driver and could do an "explain" query by using the "$explain" modifier when executing the query, however as of MongoDB 3.2 the operator was removed so this is no longer possible.

So my question is how can I do an explain query with the new driver and MongoDB 3.2?
