### Description

final public MongoDB\Driver\Cursor::toArray ( ) : array

Iterates the cursor and returns its results in an array. MongoDB\Driver\Cursor::setTypeMap() may be used to control how documents are unserialized into PHP values.

### Errors/Exceptions

- Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException on argument parsing errors.

### Examples

Example #1 MongoDB\Driver\Cursor::toArray() example

`<?php
$manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017");
$bulk = new MongoDB\Driver\BulkWrite;
$bulk->insert(['x' => 1]);
$bulk->insert(['x' => 2]);
$bulk->insert(['x' => 3]);
$manager->executeBulkWrite('db.collection', $bulk);
$query = new MongoDB\Driver\Query([]);
$cursor = $manager->executeQuery('db.collection', $query);
var_dump($cursor->toArray());
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    array(3) {
      [0]=>
      object(stdClass)#6 (2) {
        ["_id"]=>
        object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId)#5 (1) {
          ["oid"]=>
          string(24) "564259a96118fd40b41bcf61"
        }
        ["x"]=>
        int(1)
      }
      [1]=>
      object(stdClass)#8 (2) {
        ["_id"]=>
        object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId)#7 (1) {
          ["oid"]=>
          string(24) "564259a96118fd40b41bcf62"
        }
        ["x"]=>
        int(2)
      }
      [2]=>
      object(stdClass)#10 (2) {
        ["_id"]=>
        object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId)#9 (1) {
          ["oid"]=>
          string(24) "564259a96118fd40b41bcf63"
        }
        ["x"]=>
        int(3)
      }
    }
