php equivalent of rs.conf() in mongodb ?

Question

how can I get the same result as rs.conf() gives. I am trying to get the replicaset node's status through php. So I was wondering if I can get the same output as rs.conf() gives in mongodb shell ?

Answer 1

You can try using MongoDB::execute

Example :

$db->execute('return rs.status();');

Answer 2

You can do it via JS or you can actually go to the database directly via command :

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/replSetGetStatus/#replSetGetStatus

$db->command(array('replSetGetStatus' => 1));

Should be slightly faster than eval ing code and holding a JS global lock.
