Inserting a date in mongodb

Question

I want to insert a date into a collection. I use the class MongoDate to create the date object:

$today = new MongoDate(strtotime(date(\'Y-m-d 00         


        

Answer 1

Remove old document and insert

        $bill = array(  
                "_id" => 1, 
                "name" => "A", 
                "lastModified" => new MongoDate()
            );

        $collection->insert($bill);

Answer 2

$dt = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d'), new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$ts = $dt->getTimestamp();
$today = new MongoDate($ts);

This is working.

Answer 3

FYI: If you need date created for your object model.

$date_created = new \MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime(time()*1000);

Answer 4

That works in the new php version of mongodb:

new MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime((new DateTime($today))->getTimestamp()*1000)
