Question

both from the array:

$g = array("Drama", "Crime");

do:

$genre = array("genre" => "Drama", "genre" => "Crime");

We need to do a query to the database mongoDB, essentially with this condition:

genre = 'Drama' OR genre = 'Crime'

Here’s why I tried:

find(array("genre" => "Drama", "genre" => "Crime"))

Due to the fact that the keys are the same, it is impossible to create such an array. How can I perform the desired query?

UPD
The right solution:

$g = array("Drama", "Crime");
find(array("genre" => array('$in' => $g)))

Answer 1

I don’t know much about MongoDB (I had to Google this: Docs), but there is an $in operator. You want genere IN ("Drama", "Crime")

I think this is how you do it in PHP/MongoDB

find(array("genre" => array('$in' => array("Drama", "Crime"))))
