Example #1 MongoDB::listCollections() example

The following example demonstrates dropping each collection in a database.

`<?php
$m = new Mongo();
$db = $m->selectDB("sample");
$list = $db->listCollections();
foreach ($list as $collection) {
echo "removing $collection... ";
$collection->drop();
echo "gone\n";
}
?>`

    removing sample.blog.posts... gone
