MongoDB PHP Library
This library provides a high-level abstraction around the lower-level
PHP driver (mongodb extension).
While the extension provides a limited API for executing commands, queries, and
write operations, this library implements an API similar to that of the
legacy PHP driver. It contains
abstractions for client, database, and collection objects, and provides methods
for CRUD operations and common commands (e.g. index and collection management).
If you are developing an application with MongoDB, you should consider using
this library, or another high-level abstraction, instead of the extension alone.
Additional information about the architecture of this library and the mongodb
extension may be found in
Architecture Overview.
Documentation
Installation
The preferred method of installing this library is with
Composer by running the following from your project
root:
$ composer require mongodb/mongodb
Additional installation instructions may be found in the
library documentation.
Since this library is a high-level abstraction for the driver, it also requires
that the mongodb extension be installed:
$ pecl install mongodb
$ echo "extension=mongodb.so" >> `php --ini, grep "Loaded Configuration", sed -e "s, .*:\s*, "`
Additional installation instructions for the extension may be found in its
PHP.net documentation.
Reporting Issues
Issues pertaining to the library should be reported in the
PHPLIB
project in MongoDB's JIRA. Extension-related issues should be reported in the
PHPC
project.
