Question

I have long query on mongodb. I want to write that in php
The query looks like

"department":"xxx","rank":"xxx",
 $and:[{"emails.email" :{$ne : ""}},{"emails.email":{$ne:null}}];

I want to convert into php.

“department”=>$xxx,”rank”=>$xxx..??
for converting ‘and’ I cant come up. please help

Answer 1

The best way to work with the $ modifiers is to use single quotes as seen below. It’s close on the syntax however you will want to double check it as I’m certain there may have been a missed bracket.

array(
  'department'=>'', 
  'rank=>'', 
  '$and'=>array(
     'emails.email'=>array('$ne'=>''), 
     'emails.email'=>array('$ne'=>NULL)
  )
);

Good Luck!
