If you use mongodb/mongodb php composer package, you need to specify projection option:

find([], ['projection' => ['name' => false]])

Another example of options:

find([], ['limit' => 5, projection' => ['name' => false], ...])

The PHP function for find does not work like that. Try:

find(array(), array('name'=>1))

(basically omit the surrounding array)

For reference here is the documentation page: http://php.net/manual/en/mongocollection.find.php

Hi, i understand but it didnt Work with my Class, any Ideas? Thank you. ;-) public function mongoGet($f) { $cursor = $this->MoTbl->find($f); $k = array(); $i = 0; while($cursor->hasNext()) { $k[$i] = $cursor->getNext(); $i++; } return $k; }
@lun4tic What do you mean it didn't work? What Class? Can you show some code?
Sorry, im a little confused today. ;-) I call the function: $m->mongoGet(array(), $fields); In this example, i receive all field, not the specified in $fields Array.

If you are looking for a specific field in all your records you can do something like this:

$cursor = $collection->find();
    foreach( $cursor->fields(array('myField' => true )) as $doc ) {
        echo "<pre>";
        var_dump($doc);
        echo "</pre>";

This would return only 'myFeild' for each document in the collection.
