How to install Mongo DB Driver for Php 7.x

1 min readFebruary 28, 2018by Gorav Singal#php#mongo#mongodb
// TL;DR

Install the mongodb extension instead of the deprecated mongo extension for PHP 7.x by running 'pecl install mongodb' and adding the extension to php.ini.

How to install Mongo DB Driver for Php 7.x

The simplest way to install driver for php is using pecl.

When I tried to run:

pecl install mongo

It failed with error:

pecl/mongo requires PHP (version >= 5.3.0, version <= 5.99.99), installed version is 7.0.27
No valid packages found
install failed

So, if you have higher version of php, like in my case: 7.0.27

You have to run command:

pecl install mongodb
