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 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.
Это расширение » PECL не поставляется вместе с PHP. This page gives more specific information on installing on different systems and troubleshooting issues users have run into.
Run:
$ sudo pecl install mongo
If you are using CentOS or Redhat, Csoke Arpad created » RPMs for these distributions.
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 32MB.
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 $ sudo make install
Make the following changes to php.ini:
Make sure the extension_dir variable is pointing to the location of 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-zts-20060613/mongo.so'
$ php -i | grep extension_dir
extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20060613 =>
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20060613
To load the extension on PHP startup, add a line:
extension=mongo.so
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 && make install
If you don't want to modify php.ini directly, you can create a separate mongo.ini file. Within the /etc/php.d directory, create a subdirectory named mongo (or something else you like). In the mongo directory, create a mongo.ini file. Put the following in your mongo.ini file:
extension=mongo.so ; any other mongo options you'd like (see the Runtime Configuration section)
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).
The latest (non-release) code is compiled into Windows binaries on every commit. The zip consists of a .zip with php_mongo.dll and a version.txt. Please keep the version.txt around so that if you have a question or problem, you can give the developers the exact version you're using. (The number is long and nonsensical, but it will make sense to the developers!)
To get the latest bug fixes (and possibly bugs), download the binary corresponding to the PHP you have installed:
Add the following line to your php.ini file:
extension=php_mongo.dll
