MongoClient::__get — Gets a database
This is the cleanest way of getting a database. If the database name has any special characters, MongoClient::selectDB() will need to be used; however, this should be sufficient for most cases.
<?php
$mongo = new MongoClient();
// the following two lines are equivalent
$db = $mongo->selectDB("foo");
$db = $mongo->foo;
?>
dbname
The database name.
Returns a new db object.
Throws a generic exception if the database name is invalid.
