php mongodb array_unique在光标中不起作用

Question

I have the following code that produces a list of roles:

// My original code (using find)
$cursor = $collection->find(array("organization" => $curr_org['organization'], "role" => array('$exists' => true)));

// The new code (using distinct)
$cursor = $collection->distinct('role', array("organization" => $curr_org['organization'], "role" => array('$exists' => true)));
foreach($cursor as $curr_org){
    echo '<ul>';
         echo '<li>';
              echo $curr_org['role'];
         echo '</li>';
    echo '</ul>';
}

The Data contained in $curr_org['role'] has duplicates in it.

I've been messing around with array_unique and am unable to find the values of 'role'(getting array or NULL), or I'm getting the first and last values (id and organization).

My example document is:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("571626ac768d884c268b456b"),
    "name" : "John Doe",
    "email" : "jack@daniels.com",
    "manager" : "Jack Daniels",
    "role" : "Boss Man",
    "password" : "$2y$10$Bk8kVZaa0K.AJ7GqWT65LuTkWYVtNw8jK6Am5izcnvHAVBIxj5VHC",
    "organization" : "MyOrg"
}

Can anyone let me know where I should add the array_unique in my loop so I only product a list of unique roles?

UPDATE: Using distinct seems to work, however, it only echo's the first character of each role as follows:

Using Find:

Boss Man
Boss
Expeditor
Shift Manager
Ditch Digger
Boss
CEO
CEO
Expeditor

Using Distinct:

B
B
E
S
D
C

SOLVED: The resolution was to use "distinct" in the cursor command. Also defining the key in the cursor command as well as in the loop caused the truncation of the results to a single letter. In the loop, the resolution was to remove the ['role'] from the echo $curr_org['role']; line. The working code is as follows:

$cursor = $collection->distinct('role', array("organization" => $curr_org['organization'], "role" => array('$exists' => true)));
foreach($cursor as $curr_org){
    echo '<ul>';
         echo '<li>';
              echo $curr_org;
         echo '</li>';
    echo '</ul>';
}

如果您只关心角色，则可以使用MongoCollection::distinct

$roles = $collection->distinct('role', array("organization" => $curr_org['organization']);
