Question

I have a small issue with the following MongoDB PHP script

$collection = $this->db->retail_details;
        $array = array('$OR'=>array(
            "salesperson"=>new MongoId($uid),
            "Manager"=>new MongoId($uid)
        ));
        $cursor = $collection->find($array);

I have all the rows saleperson and Manager and I am senging thw correct $UID for the manager it wont match the salesperson but it should still return the data as it matches the Manager MongoID.

Answer 1

The operators in mongodb are case-sensitive. So you should use “$or” rather than “$OR”. But i think that your query is incorrect, too, because “$or” requires an indexed array for it’s criteria:

$collection = $this->db->retail_details;
$array = array('$or'=>array(
    array("salesperson"=>new MongoId($uid)),
    array("Manager"=>new MongoId($uid))
));
$cursor = $collection->find($array);

This should work, in my opinion.
