The following drops all indexes from the ``restaurants`` collection in the
``test`` database:

.. code-block:: php

<?php

$collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->restaurants;

$result = $collection->dropIndexes();

var_dump($result);

The output would then resemble::

object(MongoDB\Model\BSONDocument)#9 (1) {
     ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
     array(3) {
       ["nIndexesWas"]=>
       int(3)
       ["msg"]=>
       string(38) "non-_id indexes dropped for collection"
       ["ok"]=>
       float(1)
     }
   }
