MongoDB\BSON\Document::toPHP
(mongodb >=1.16.0)
MongoDB\BSON\Document::toPHP — Returns the PHP representation of the BSON document
Description
Unserializes the BSON document to its PHP representation. The
typeMap parameter may be used to control the PHP types
used for converting BSON arrays and documents (both root and embedded).
Warning
BSON documents can technically contain duplicate keys because documents are
stored as a list of key-value pairs; however, applications should refrain
from generating documents with duplicate keys as server and driver behavior
may be undefined. Since PHP objects and arrays cannot have duplicate keys,
data could also be lost when decoding a BSON document with duplicate keys.
Return Values
The decoded PHP value.
Note:
When encountering a value encoded as 64-bit integer in the BSON document,
the return value of this method will be a
MongoDB\BSON\Int64 instance.
