After doing an insert I want to pass the object to the client using json_encode(). The problem is, the _id value is not included.
$widget = array('text' => 'Some text');
$this->mongo->db->insert($widget);
If I echo $widget['_id'] the string value gets displays on the screen, but I want to do something like this:
$widget['widgetId'] = $widget['_id']->id;
So I can do json_encode() and include the widget id:
echo json_encode($widget);
Believe this is what you're after.
$widget['_id']->{'$id'};
Something like this.
$widget = array('text' => 'Some text');
$this->mongo->db->insert($widget);
$widget['widgetId'] = $widget['_id']->{'$id'};
echo json_encode($widget);
