Building the MongoDB PHP Driver from sourceFor driver developers and users interested in the latest bugfixes, the driver may be compiled 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 On systems with multiple version of PHP installed (e.g. macOS default, Homebrew, » XAMPP), each version of PHP will have its own phpize command and php.ini file(s). Additionally, each PHP environments (e.g. CLI, web) may use separate php.ini files.
By default, the driver will use bundled versions of

» libmongoc, and
» libmongocrypt and
attempt to configure them automatically. If these libraries are already
installed as system libraries, the driver can utilize them by
specifying
For a complete list of
When using bundled versions of libmongoc and libmongocrypt, the driver will
also attempt to select an SSL library according to the
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-20220829/ Ensure that the extension_dir option in php.ini points to the directory where mongodb.so was installed. The option may be queried by running: $ php -i | grep extension_dir extension_dir => /usr/lib/php/extensions/debug-non-zts-20220829 => /usr/lib/php/extensions/debug-non-zts-20220829 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 the php.ini file for each environment that will need to use the driver: extension=mongodb.so |
