MongoDB\Collection::updateOne()

Update at most one document that matches the filter criteria. If multiple documents match the filter criteria, only the first matching document will be updated.

function updateOne(
array|object $filter,
array|object $update,
array $options = []
): MongoDB\UpdateResult
$filter : array|object
The filter criteria that specifies the documents to update.
$update : array|object
Specifies the field and value combinations to update and any relevant update operators. $update uses MongoDB's update operators. Starting with MongoDB 4.2, an aggregation pipeline can be passed as this parameter.
$options : array

An array specifying the desired options.

Name
Type
Description
arrayFilters
array

An array of filter documents that determines which array elements to modify for an update operation on an array field.

New in version 1.3.

bypassDocumentValidation
boolean
If true, allows the write operation to circumvent document level validation. Defaults to false.
collation
array|object
comment
mixed

Enables users to specify an arbitrary comment to help trace the operation through the database profiler, currentOp output, and logs.

This option is available since MongoDB 4.4 and will result in an exception at execution time if specified for an older server version.

New in version 1.13.

hint
string|array|object

The index to use. Specify either the index name as a string or the index key pattern as a document. If specified, then the query system will only consider plans using the hinted index.

This option is available since MongoDB 4.2 and will result in an exception at execution time if specified for an older server version.

New in version 1.6.

let
array|object

Map of parameter names and values. Values must be constant or closed expressions that do not reference document fields. Parameters can then be accessed as variables in an aggregate expression context (e.g. $$var).

This is not supported for server versions prior to 5.0 and will result in an exception at execution time if used.

New in version 1.13.

session

Client session to associate with the operation.

New in version 1.3.

upsert
boolean
If set to true, creates a new document when no document matches the query criteria. The default value is false, which does not insert a new document when no match is found.
writeConcern

Write concern to use for the operation. Defaults to the collection's write concern.

It is not possible to specify a write concern for individual operations as part of a transaction. Instead, set the writeConcern option when starting the transaction.

A MongoDB\UpdateResult object, which encapsulates a MongoDB\Driver\WriteResult object.

MongoDB\Exception\UnsupportedException if options are used and not supported by the selected server (e.g. collation, readConcern, writeConcern).

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

MongoDB\Driver\Exception\BulkWriteException for errors related to the write operation. Users should inspect the value returned by getWriteResult() to determine the nature of the error.

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

When evaluating query criteria, MongoDB compares types and values according to its own comparison rules for BSON types, which differs from PHP's comparison and type juggling rules. When matching a special BSON type the query criteria should use the respective BSON class in the driver (e.g. use MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId to match an ObjectId).

If a MongoDB\Driver\Exception\BulkWriteException is thrown, users should call getWriteResult() and inspect the returned MongoDB\Driver\WriteResult object to determine the nature of the error.

For example, a write operation may have been successfully applied to the primary server but failed to satisfy the write concern (e.g. replication took too long). Alternatively, a write operation may have failed outright (e.g. unique key violation).

The following example updates one document with the restaurant_id of "40356151" by setting the name field to "Brunos on Astoria":

<?php
$collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->restaurants;
$updateResult = $collection->updateOne(
[ 'restaurant_id' => '40356151' ],
[ '$set' => [ 'name' => 'Brunos on Astoria' ]]
);
printf("Matched %d document(s)\n", $updateResult->getMatchedCount());
printf("Modified %d document(s)\n", $updateResult->getModifiedCount());

The output would then resemble:

Matched 1 document(s)
Modified 1 document(s)
