Instead of running while() or foreach() over a Mongo cursor, get all results from cursor into array:
$curs = $Mdb->tbl->find();
$arrOut = iterator_to_array( $curs, false ); // false uses numeric index.
return $arrOut;
Using a Cursor to Get All of the Documents
In order to get all the documents in the collection, we will use MongoCollection::find(). The find() method returns a MongoCursor object which allows us to iterate over the set of documents that matched our query. So to query all of the documents and print them out:
<?php
$connection = new MongoClient();
$collection = $connection->database->collectionName;
$cursor = $collection->find();
foreach ( $cursor as $id => $value )
{
echo "$id: ";
var_dump( $value );
}
?>

The API documentation on MongoCollection::find() contains more information about finding data.
