MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeCommand — Execute a database command
$db
   , MongoDB\Driver\Command $command
   [, MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference $readPreference
  ] )
   Executes command on a server If
   readPreference is provided, it will be used for server
   selection; otherwise, the default read preference will be used.
  
db (string)The name of the database on which to execute the command.
command (MongoDB\Driver\Command)The MongoDB\Driver\Command to execute.
readPreference (MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference)Optionally, a MongoDB\Driver\ReadPreference to select the server for this operation. If none is given, the read preference from the MongoDB Connection URI will be used.
Returns MongoDB\Driver\Cursor on success.
Example #1 MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeCommand() with a command returning a single result document
<?php
$manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://localhost:27017');
$command = new MongoDB\Driver\Command(['ping' => 1]);
try {
    $cursor = $manager->executeCommand('admin', $command);
} catch(MongoDB\Driver\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}
/* The ping command returns a single result document, so we need to access the
 * first result in the cursor. */
$response = $cursor->toArray()[0];
var_dump($response);
?>
The above example will output:
array(1) {
  ["ok"]=>
  float(1)
}
Example #2 MongoDB\Driver\Manager::executeCommand() with a command returning a cursor
<?php
$manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017");
$bulk = new MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite;
$bulk->insert(['x' => 1, 'y' => 'foo']);
$bulk->insert(['x' => 2, 'y' => 'bar']);
$bulk->insert(['x' => 3, 'y' => 'bar']);
$manager->executeBulkWrite('db.collection', $bulk);
$command = new MongoDB\Driver\Command([
    'aggregate' => 'collection',
    'pipeline' => [
        ['$group' => ['_id' => '$y', 'sum' => ['$sum' => '$x']]],
    ],
    'cursor' => new stdClass,
]);
$cursor = $manager->executeCommand('db', $command);
/* The aggregate command can optionally return its results in a cursor instead
 * of a single result document. In this case, we can iterate on the cursor
 * directly to access those results. */
foreach ($cursor as $document) {
    var_dump($document);
}
?>
The above example will output:
object(stdClass)#6 (2) {
  ["_id"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
  ["sum"]=>
  int(10)
}
object(stdClass)#7 (2) {
  ["_id"]=>
  string(3) "foo"
  ["sum"]=>
  int(2)
}
Note:
This method does not take a MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern parameter. For write commands (e.g. » findAndModify in MongoDB 3.2+), the write concern should be included in the
commanddocument itself.If a secondary
readPreferenceis used, it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that thecommandcan be executed on a secondary. No validation is done by the driver.
