While the extension provides a limited API for executing commands, queries, and write operations, this library implements a full-featured API similar to that of other MongoDB drivers. 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](https://php.net/manual/en/mongodb.overview.php). Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) - - Installation ------------ [](#installation) The preferred method of installing this library is with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) by running the following from your project root: ``` $ composer require mongodb/mongodb ``` Additional installation instructions may be found in the [library documentation](https://mongodb.com/docs/php-library/current/tutorial/install-php-library/). 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](https://php.net/manual/en/mongodb.installation.php). Release Integrity ----------------- [](#release-integrity) Releases are created automatically and the resulting release tag is signed using the [PHP team's GPG key](https://pgp.mongodb.com/php-driver.asc). To verify the tag signature, download the key and import it using `gpg`: ``` gpg --import php-driver.asc ``` Then, in a local clone, verify the signature of a given tag (e.g. `1.19.0`): ``` git show --show-signature 1.19.0 ``` Note Composer does not support verifying signatures as part of its installation process. Reporting Issues ---------------- [](#reporting-issues) Issues pertaining to the library should be reported in the [PHPLIB](https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa?project-field=PHPLIB)project in MongoDB's JIRA. Extension-related issues should be reported in the [PHPC](https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa?project-field=PHPC)project. For general questions and support requests, please use one of MongoDB's [Technical Support](https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/support/) channels. ### Security Vulnerabilities [](#security-vulnerabilities) If you've identified a security vulnerability in a driver or any other MongoDB project, please report it according to the instructions in [Create a Vulnerability Report](https://mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/create-a-vulnerability-report). Development ----------- [](#development) Development is tracked in the [PHPLIB](https://jira.mongodb.org/projects/PHPLIB/summary) project in MongoDB's JIRA. Documentation for contributing to this project may be found in [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). ### Health Score 83 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity78 Solid adoption and visibility Community62 Healthy contributor diversity Maturity88 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
