Returns information for all databases on the server.

function listDatabases(array $options = []): MongoDB\Model\DatabaseInfoIterator

This method has the following parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$options array Optional. An array specifying the desired options.

The $options parameter supports the following options:

Option Type Description
authorizedDatabases boolean

Optional. A flag that determines which databases are returned based on the user privileges when access control is enabled. For more information, see the listDatabases command documentation.

For servers < 4.0.5, this option is ignored.

You can specify a query expression for database fields (e.g. name, sizeOnDisk, empty).

New in version 1.3.

Return Values

A traversable MongoDB\Model\DatabaseInfoIterator, which contains a MongoDB\Model\DatabaseInfo object for each database on the server.

Errors/Exceptions

MongoDB\Exception\UnexpectedValueException if the command response from the server was malformed.

MongoDB\Exception\InvalidArgumentException for errors related to the parsing of parameters or options.

MongoDB\Driver\Exception\RuntimeException for other errors at the driver level (e.g. connection errors).

Example

The following example lists all databases on the server:

<?php

$client = new MongoDB\Client;

foreach ($client->listDatabases() as $databaseInfo) {
    var_dump($databaseInfo);
}

The output would then resemble:

object(MongoDB\Model\DatabaseInfo)#4 (3) {
  ["name"]=>
  string(5) "local"
  ["sizeOnDisk"]=>
  float(65536)
  ["empty"]=>
  bool(false)
}
object(MongoDB\Model\DatabaseInfo)#7 (3) {
  ["name"]=>
  string(4) "test"
  ["sizeOnDisk"]=>
  float(32768)
  ["empty"]=>
  bool(false)
}
