How to use MongoDB from Bitnami Wamp Stack?

Question

I want to use mongodb with php . I have installed Binami Wamp Stack 5.6 . phpinfo() is working fine but on running the code below, I found this error

The localhost page isn't working localhost is currently unable to handle this request.

<?php
   // connect to mongodb
   $m = new MongoClient();

   echo "Connection to database successfully";
   // select a database
   $db = $m->mydb;

   echo "Database mydb selected";
?>

I also tried with $m = new MongoDB\\Driver\\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017"); but same error.

There are two .dll of mongo named php_mongo.dll and php_mongodb.dll are already in php folder inside ext folder. Can some one help me?

Answer 1

You need to edit the configuration file php.ini and uncomment the line below:

;extension=php_mongodb.dll

Removing the ; at the beggining.

After that, you have to restart Apache. You can use the Bitnami Manager to do that.

Finally, you can check that it is working with this small example:

<?php
 // connect to mongodb
 $manager = new MongoDB\Driver\Manager("mongodb://localhost:27017");
 var_dump($manager); 
?>

I hope this information is useful for you. If you have any other question, please do not hesitate to let us know.

1. I have simply downloaded php_mongo.dll file and paste in xampp\\php\\ext folder and
2. open php.ini (config file) and paste "extension=php_mongo.dll" this line at bottom of the file.
3. and restart the my xampp server

My db connection as follow

function get_db_con() {
    $mongo = new MongoClient();
    $db = $mongo->my_db_name;
    return $db;
}

And i called above function like this:

function my_function() {

    $db = get_db_con(); // I call function for db connection
}

and its working for me!
