I want to query something as SQL's like query:

 

m.tuteehub.com/tag/select">select * 
from users 
where name like '%m%'

How to do the same in MongoDB?
I can't find a operator for like in the Documentations.

That would have to be:

db.users.find({"name": /.*m.*/})

or, similar:

db.users.find({"name": /m/})

You're looking for something that contains "m" somewhere (SQL's '%' operator is equivalent to Regexp's '.*'), not something that has "m" anchored to the beginning of the string.

db.users.insert({name: 'paulo'})
db.users.insert({name: 'patric'})
db.users.insert({name: 'pedro'})

db.users.find({name: /a/})  //like '%a%'

out: paulo, patric

db.users.find({name: /^pa/}) //like 'pa%' 

out: paulo, patric

db.users.find({name: /ro$/}) //like '%ro'

out: pedro

In PHP, you could use following code:

$collection->find(array('name'=> array('$regex' => 'm'));
