Manually Installing the MongoDB PHP Driver
For driver developers and people interested in the
latest bugfixes, you can compile the driver from the latest source
code on » Github. Run the following commands
to clone and build the project:
$ git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver.git $ cd mongo-php-driver $ git submodule update --init $ phpize $ ./configure $ make all $ sudo make install
If your system has multiple version of PHP
installed (e.g. macOS default and
» XAMPP), note that each version of
PHP has its own phpize command and php.ini
file.
By default, the driver will use bundled versions of
» libbson and » libmongoc and attempt to configure
them on its own. If libbson and libmongoc are already installed as
system libraries, you can instruct the driver to utilize them by
specifying –with-libbson=yes –with–libmongoc=yes as
arguments to configure.
For a complete list of configure options,
run configure –help.
When using bundled versions of libbson and
libmongoc, the driver will also attempt to select an SSL library
according to the –with-mongodb-ssl option for
configure. The default value is
–with-mongodb-ssl=auto, which will search for Secure
Transport (macOS only), OpenSSL, and LibreSSL, in that order.
Additionally, you may specify openssl, libressl,
or darwin to force selection of a particular library,
respectively.
Note:
If the build process fails to find an SSL library,
check that the development packages (e.g. libssl-dev) and
» pkg-config are both installed.When using Homebrew on macOS, it is common for a
system to have multiple versions of OpenSSL installed. To ensure
that the desired version of OpenSSL is selected, the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable may be used to
control the search path for pkg-config. If
pkg-config is not used, configure also supports a
–with-openssl-dir=DIR argument, which can be used to
specify a manual search path (for OpenSSL only).
The final build step, make
install, will report where mongodb.so has been installed, similar to:
Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php/extensions/debug-non-zts-20151012/
Ensure that the extension_dir
option in php.ini points to the
directory where mongodb.so was
installed. You can query for the option by running:
$ php -i | grep extension_dir extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/extensions/debug-non-zts-20151012 => /usr/lib/php/extensions/debug-non-zts-20151012
If the directories differ, either change extension_dir in
php.ini or manually move mongodb.so to the correct directory.
Finally, add the following line to your php.ini file:
extension=mongodb.so
