How to create mongodb database collection without adding any data?

mongodb, php

Solution

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.createCollection/

A quick google would have revealed this.

`db.createCollection("something")`

Edit

The PHP method: http://php.net/manual/en/mongodb.createcollection.php

`$db->createCollection("something");`

Problem

I'm doing a project using MongoDb.my problem is when i create collection, i have to insert data also. but i want to create the collection without data(same as making table in mysql without data.)
