Answer 1

You can try install mongodb driver with:

sudo apt-get install php-mongodb

Answer 2

UBUNTU 16.0.4 (07.12.2016)

install PHP-MONGODB drivers : Commandes :
- sudo pecl install mongodb -> résultat : Build process completed successfully Installing '/usr/lib/php/20151012/mongodb.so' install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongodb-1.2.0 configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location You should add "extension=mongodb.so" to php.ini

                    -> la librairie se trouve dans "/usr/lib/php/20151012/mongodb.so"
            - sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
            https://secure.php.net/manual/en/mongodb.installation.pecl.php
            - create 2 new files called "30-mongodb.ini" in both path to add the extension to your server:
                -/etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/30-mongodb.ini
                -/etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/30-mongodb.ini
                Commandes :
                    sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/30-mongodb.ini

                        -> add "extension=mongodb.so"

                    sudo nano /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/30-mongodb.ini

                        -> add "extension=mongodb.so"


            - Test if the mongodb extension is running in your server :
                Commandes :
                    php --ini

install DoctrineMongoDBBundle : http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/DoctrineMongoDBBundle/index.html, http://www.doctrine-project.org/2016/06/09/odm-1-1-0-and-1-0-6.html,

    Commandes :
        - cd
        - cd my_project_name
        - ls -a composer*
            -> résultat : composer.json  composer.lock
        - sudo nano composer.json
        - Add to the composer.json in "require" array
            "doctrine/mongodb-odm": "^1.0",
            "doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle": "^3.0"
        - Add to the composer.json in "require" array
            "alcaeus/mongo-php-adapter": "^1.0",
            "ext-mongo": "*"
        - Add a new array :
            "provide": 
            {
                "ext-mongo": "1.6.12"
            }
        - Move 
        sudo cp -i /usr/lib/php/20151012/mongodb.so /etc/php/7.0/cli

Answer 3

The MongoDB driver that supports PHP 7 was only released December 22nd - its likely downstream repositories like brew haven't updated.

Update confirmed there is currently no php70-mongo brew script, though there is an active pull request to add one.

You may be able to install it manually via pecl in the meantime:

pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

pecl install mongodb

echo "extension=mongodb.so" >> `php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`

How to connect php 7.0 with MongoDB in ubuntu 16.04 lts?

1)Install LAMP using the following link. It installs Apache2, mysql and php 7.0. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04

2)Install the MongoDB community Edition on Ubuntu using the steps in the following link. http://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

3)Type the following command to get the mongoDB extension from pecl

sudo apt install php-pear

4)Add the following to the php.ini file at /etc/php/apache2/7.0

extension=mongodb.so

Important - The classes have been changed too:

new MongoClient();  //Old Class

new MongoDB\Driver\Manager(); // New Class

Refer - http://php.net/manual/en/set.mongodb.php

Answer 5

• First we need to install MongoDB in the machine through the steps mentioned here: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
• The next step is to install a MongoDB driver to use with PHP.

• The MongoDB driver for PHP Version 5.99.99 or older was: https://pecl.php.net/package/mongo to install this we need to use:

  sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev

  sudo pecl install mongo

• From PHP 7 onwards, this is the new driver https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb To install that use: sudo pecl install mongodb

• If you are using Laravel framework or projects with composer, then this library is the most apt one: https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-MongoDB Use version 3.0.0 to get PHP 7 & Laravel 5 support and otherwise use the older version 2.2.2 Composer command:

  composer require jenssegers/mongodb

• If you are using other PHP frameworks without composer, use this library: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library which is also used in the above mentioned library

Answer 6

I almost gave up, too. For The MongoDB driver for PHP 7x, Ubuntu 18.04 Pecl will not work. Instead, try:

sudo apt-get install php-mongodb  

Then in the base of your project folder install the mongodb library https://docs.mongodb.com/php-library/current/tutorial/install-php-library/

composer require mongodb/mongodb
composer install

Which accesses the lower level functions provided by the driver.

Lastly, go to php.ini and add

extension = mongo.so

and restart apache

To test, try adding this to a php file:

<?php
     require_once __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";
     $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->users;
     print_r($collection);
?>
