Building the MongoDB PHP Driver from source

For developers and users interested in the latest bugfixes, the extension 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 extension will use bundled versions of » libbson, » libmongoc, and » libmongocrypt and attempt to configure them automatically. If these libraries are already installed as system libraries, the extension can utilize them by specifying --with-mongodb-system-libs=yes as an option to configure.

For a complete list of configure options, run configure --help.

When using bundled versions of libmongoc and libmongocrypt, the extension will also attempt to select an SSL library according to the --with-mongodb-ssl configure option. As of extension version 1.17.0, OpenSSL is always preferred by default. Previously, Secure Transport was the default on macOS and OpenSSL was the default on all other platforms.

注意:

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-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 extension:

extension=mongodb.so
