Example #1 mysql_xdevapi\Schema::getCollections() example

`<?php
$session = mysql_xdevapi\getSession("mysqlx://user:password@localhost");
$session->sql("DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS addressbook")->execute();
$session->sql("CREATE DATABASE addressbook")->execute();
$schema = $session->getSchema("addressbook");
$collect = $schema->createCollection("people");
$collect->add('{"name": "Fred", "age": 21, "job": "Construction"}')->execute();
$collect->add('{"name": "Wilma", "age": 23, "job": "Teacher"}')->execute();
$collections = $schema->getCollections();
var_dump($collections);
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    array(1) {
      ["people"]=>
      object(mysql_xdevapi\Collection)#4 (1) {
        ["name"]=>
        string(6) "people"
      }
    }
