Get People In

Safely

4. Web-Based Applications
1. Get Data In
2. Make the most of the data
3. Get the data out safely

5. Does your
PHP code
work well with
this?

6. How about
this?

7. Why PHP Developers Should Use MongoDB?
Database Reasons
• Document-oriented storage - JSON-style documents with dynamic
schemas offer simplicity and power.
• Full Index Support - Index on any attribute.
• Replication & High Availability - Mirror across LANs and WANs.
• Auto-Sharding - Scale horizontally without compromising functionality.
• Querying - Rich, document-based queries.
• Fast In-Place Updates - Atomic modifiers for contention-free
performance.
• Map/Reduce - Flexible aggregation and data processing.
• GridFS - Store files of any size.

10. Why PHP Developers Should Use MongoDB?
The KISS Method

11. Use Case - eCommerce

12. Imagine the SQL
(not PHP) code
you would have
to write to figure
out product
details.

13. Simple
and
Flexible

14. Mongo and PHP in a Nutshell
http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.mongo.php
Common Methods Conditional Operators
• find() • $ne
• findOne() • $in
• save() • $nin
• remove() • $mod
• update() • $all
• group() • $size
• limit() • $exists
• skip() • $type
• ensureIndex() • $gt
• count() • $lt
• ...And More • $lte
• $gte

15. Don’t you find it strange we haven’t
talked about PHP yet?

16. Check out all the
open PHP
projects!

17. phpMoAdmin
Eric David Benari - support@phpMoAdmin.com
• Nothing to configure - place the moadmin.php file anywhere on your web site
and it just works!
• Fast AJAX-driven XHTML 1.1 interface operates consistently in every browser!
• Self-contained in a single 90kb file!
• Works on any version of PHP5 with the MongoDB NoSQL database & Mongo
PHP driver installed and running.
• Option to enable password-protection for one or more users; to activate
protection, just add the username-password(s) to the array at the top of the file.
• E_STRICT PHP code is formatted to the Zend Framework coding standards +
fully-documented in the phpDocumentor DocBlock standard.
• Instructional error messages - phpMoAdmin can be used as a PHP-Mongo
connection debugging tool
• All textareas can be resized by dragging/stretching the lower-right corner.
• Multiple design themes to choose from
• Free & open-source! Released under the GPLv3 FOSS license!

18. ActiveMongo
Cesar D. Rodas- crodas@php.net
• Handle MongoDB connection, connecting once when it is needed
• Define a Collection as a class
• Abstracts iteration over a dataset
• Efficient save() which creates or updates efficiently (using $unset, $set) a document
• Provides simple queries interface
• Use of MongoCollection for complex queries in sub-classes
• Delete current object, Drop() table
• Support filtering per property
• Support for efficient updates on nested documents
• Dynamic References (AKA, save a query to execute later)

19. Let’s talk about PHP Frameworks that Support MongoDB

21. Let’s Pick a Framework and Use it with MongoDB

22. +

23. • Integrated Unit Testing (speed, quality) [thank you: closures, iterators]
• Aspect Inspired Filter System (flexibility) [thank you: closures, lambdas,
iterators]
• Document Oriented Data Sources (speed, flexibility) [thank you mongodb]
• Automatic output escaping (quality) [thank you: stream wrappers]
• Extensible plugin support (flexibility) [thank you: namespaces]
• Static Models with Object Oriented Results (speed, flexibility) [thank you: late
static binding, iterators]
• More, More, More....

24. Let’s Make Use of the MVC

25. Your Connection

26. Your Connection
Use This

27. Your Connection
Not This

28. Setup Your Model
This will setup your mongodb collection

29. Setup Your Views
index.html.php
add.html.php

30. Last But Not Least - The Controller

31. Yay!

32. It Worked!

33. What happens when we need
to extend our Blog?
Let’s add a Tag!

34. Normally we
would touch this!

35. = Dynamic Schema

36. Just Change Your Views
index.html.php
add.html.php

37. Just Change Your Views
index.html.php
add.html.php

38. What else can I do with MongoDB and PHP?

39. Cursors
MongoDates
Indexes MapReduce
...Just to name a few...
Sharding
Exceptions
MongoBinData
MongoCode
MongoRegex
