The only MongoDB\Collection I can find is at
  https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library
which we don't manage, and their docs
  https://docs.mongodb.com/php-library/current/reference/class/MongoDBCollection/
don't mention a group() method.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Hi,

there is no group() method. What you probably should do, is an aggregation() with a $group as pipeline argument. Something like:

$g = $collection->aggregate( [
    [ '$group' => [ '_id' => '$id', 'items' => [ '$push' => '$name'] ] ]
] );

But as this is not a bug, neither in code or documented, I have closed this ticket. If you have further questions, feel free to ask at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mongodb-user or on IRC at Freenode/#mongoDB

cheers,
Derick
