[mongodb-user] Updates on indexed list not working

[Steffen S.]

Hi,

I'm using MongoDB 1.4.1 on Win 7 64bit with PHP.

When I try to update a value in an indexed list I get the error:
"can't append to array using string field name"

As soon as I remove the index, the update performs with no problems.

I have some test documents like this:
{"cast":["Samuel","John"],"movie":"Pulp Fiction"}
{"cast":["John","Hugh","Halle"],"movie":"Swordfish"}

"cast" has an ascending index.

My update routine in PHP looks like this:
$collection->update(
array('cast' => 'John'),
array('$set' => array('cast.$' => 'John Travolta')),
array('multiple' => TRUE)
);

I've tried the same on the console, same result: with index I get the error,
without the index the update works.

Any ideas on that one?

Thanks a lot,
Steffen
