Example
-------

.. start-crud-include

The following operation inserts two documents into the ``users`` collection
in the ``test`` database:

.. code-block:: php

<?php

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

$insertManyResult = $collection->insertMany([
       [
           'username' => 'admin',
           'email' => 'admin@example.com',
           'name' => 'Admin User',
       ],
       [
           'username' => 'test',
           'email' => 'test@example.com',
           'name' => 'Test User',
       ],
   ]);

printf("Inserted %d document(s)\n", $insertManyResult->getInsertedCount());

var_dump($insertManyResult->getInsertedIds());

The output would then resemble::

Inserted 2 document(s)
   array(2) {
     [0]=>
     object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId)#11 (1) {
       ["oid"]=>
       string(24) "579a25921f417dd1e5518141"
     }
     [1]=>
     object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId)#12 (1) {
       ["oid"]=>
       string(24) "579a25921f417dd1e5518142"
     }
   }
