PHP Manual: Drops this database

public array MongoDB::drop ( void )

This drops the database currently being used.

This is identical to running:


<?php

public function drop() {
    $this->command(array("dropDatabase" => 1));
}

?>

This function has no parameters.

Returns the database response.

Example #1 MongoDB::drop example

This example demonstrates how to drop a mongo database and the response to expect.


<?php

$db = $mongo->foo;
$response = $db->drop();
print_r($response);

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [dropped] => foo.$cmd
    [ok] => 1
)
