PHP MongoDB insertion issue

Question

having this weird issue while inserting to MongoDB using PHP. My insertion code is as follows :

$tyre = array("m" => '5', "i" => 'test.png');
$tyreCollection->insert(array($tyre),array('safe'=>true));

After insertion, I see the following in my DB :

{'_id' : ObjectId("856876876786867"),"0":{"m":'5','i':'test.png'}}

Why does my new array have a key of 0 ? I am expecting :

{'_id' : ObjectId("856876876786867"),"m":'5','i':'test.png'}

What am I doing wrong ?

not array($tyre) but only $tyre, at the momemnt You are inserting array(array(...)) — Bartosz Grzybowski

Insert only $tyre instead of array($tyre)

$tyreCollection->insert($tyre,array('safe'=>true));

Also always remember to dump variables with var_dump or print_r
