The MongoDB PHP driver should work on nearly any system: Windows, Mac OS X, Unix, and Linux; little- and big-endian machines; 32- and 64-bit machines; PHP 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5.
Această extensie » PECL nu este încorporată în PHP.
For driver developers and people interested in the latest bugfixes, you can compile the driver from the latest source code on » Github. Go to Github and click the "download" button. Then run:
$ tar zxvf mongodb-mongodb-php-driver-<commit_id>.tar.gz $ cd mongodb-mongodb-php-driver-<commit_id> $ phpize $ ./configure $ make all $ sudo make install
Make the following changes to php.ini:
Make sure the extension_dir variable is pointing to the directory containing mongo.so. The build will display where it is installing the PHP driver with output that looks something like:
Installing '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/mongo.so'
$ php -i | grep extension_dir
extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613 =>
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613
To load the extension on PHP startup, add a line:
extension=mongo.so
Run:
$ sudo pecl install mongo
If you are using CentOS or Redhat, you may wish to install from an » RPM.
Add the following line to your php.ini file:
extension=mongo.so
If pecl runs out of memory while installing, make sure memory_limit in php.ini is set to at least 128MB.
Precompiled binaries for each release are available from » Github for a variety of combinations of versions, thread safety, and VC libraries. Unzip the archive and put php_mongo.dll in your PHP extension directory ("ext" by default).
Add the following line to your php.ini file:
extension=php_mongo.dll
If your system is unable to find autoconf, you'll need to install Xcode (available on your installation DVD or as a free download from the Apple website).
If you are using XAMPP, you may be able to compile the driver with the following command:
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/pecl install mongo
If you are using MAMP (or XAMPP and the above command does not work), precompiled binaries are available from » Github (download the latest one with "osx" in the name that matches your version of PHP). Extract mongo.so from the archive and add it to MAMP or XAMPP's extension directory. Add
extension=mongo.so
Gentoo has a package for the PHP driver called dev-php5/mongo, which can be installed with:
$ sudo emerge -va dev-php5/mongo
If you use PECL, you may get an error that libtool is the wrong version. Compiling from source you'll need to run aclocal and autoconf.
$ phpize $ aclocal $ autoconf $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
This includes Fedora and CentOS.
The default Apache settings on these systems do not let requests make network connections, meaning that the driver will get "Permission denied" errors when it tries to connect to the database. If you run into this, try running:
$ /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
