brew install php70-mongodb not working

Question

I installed php-mongodb with brew, but when I tried to connect it says no plugin.

echo extension_loaded("mongo") ? "loaded\n" : "not loaded\n";

output : not loaded

The steps I followed: this link

$ brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
$ brew install php70-mongodb

$ sudo brew services restart httpd

my php versiyon :

$ php -v

output :

PHP 7.0.27 (cli) (built: Feb 15 2018 16:59:02) ( NTS )

Answer 1

They removed the tap homebrew/homebrew-php so you need to install it trouguh pecl, first make sure you have pecl installed and working properly.

After that run:

sudo pecl install mongodb

Check if the extension is enabled with:

php -i | grep mongo

You should get an output like:

mongodb
libmongoc bun
dled version => 1.9.4
libmongoc SSL => enabled
...

If you don't get that output, you should check your php.ini and add this line to your php.ini

extension="mongodb.so"

Answer 2

Try to install using MacPorts. it's better than homebrew

it worked fine to me with no problem in my php 7.1:

sudo port install php71-mongodb

if you have other version than 7.1. check this page:

https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=mongodb

Answer 3

I'm using php72 with php72-mongodb on macos. I've installed like following:

brew install php72 php72-mongodb

And then everything is OK when I've restarted my httpd/apache or nginx server.

You can check your setup with:

php -i | grep mongodb

You'll see something likes that following in my opinion:

/usr/local/etc/php/7.2/conf.d/ext-mongodb.ini,
mongodb
mongodb.debug => no value => no value
