acknowledging the save operation.

indicating the save was a success. Defaults to false.

•

wtimeout : Used to specify how long the server is to wait for receiving acknowledgement
(in milliseconds). Defaults to 10000.

•

timeout : Used to specify how long (in milliseconds) the client needs to wait for a response
from the database.

The syntax for PHP's save() version is similar to that in the MongoDB shell, as the following example illustrates:

// Specify the document to be saved
$contact = array(
"Given Name" => "Kenji",
"Family Name" => "Kitahara",
"Address" => array(
"Street" => "149 Bartlett Avenue",
"Place" => "Southfield",
"Postal Code" => "MI 48075",
"Country" => "USA"
)
,
"E-Mail" => array(
" [e-mail] " ,
" [e-mail] "
),
"Phone" => "248-510-1562",
"Age" => 34
);

// Connect to the database
$c = new MongoClient();
// Select the collection 'people'
$collection = $c->contacts->people;
// Save via the save() function
$options = array("fsync" => true);
// Specify the save() options
$collection->save($contact,$options);

// Realizing you forgot something, let's upsert this contact:
$contact['Category'] = 'Work';
// Perform the upsert
$collection->save($contact);
