MongoDB

Note: This driver is no longer maintained. Please read the announcement_.

.. _announcement: https://drck.me/hhvm-mongo-da6

This is the low-level HHVM driver for MongoDB. The API is the same as the PHP driver for MongoDB. The documentation for both of them is the same, and can be found at http://www.php.net/manual/en/set.mongodb.php

The driver is written to be a bare bone layer to talk to MongoDB, and therefore misses many convenience features. Instead, these convenience methods have been split out into a layer written in PHP, the MongoDB Library_. Using this library should be your preferred way of interacting with MongoDB.

Please note that the new HHVM and PHP drivers implement a different API from the legacy driver at http://pecl.php.net/package/mongo; therefore existing libraries that use the legacy driver (e.g. Doctrine MongoDB's ODM_) will not work with the new drivers.

.. _Doctrine MongoDB's ODM: http://doctrine-mongodb-odm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ .. _MongoDB Library: http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-php-library/

In the long run, we hope that userland packages will be built atop this driver to implement various APIs (e.g. a BC layer for the existing driver, new fluent interfaces), management utilities (for creating admin utilities and cluster management applications), and other interesting libraries.

Installation

Please ensure, that before you install the extension, the following tools are installed: autoconf, automake, and libtool.

Compiling this extension requires the hphpize command, which is available by installing the hhvm-dev package from the HHVM repositories <https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Prebuilt-Packages-for-HHVM>_ or building HHVM from source <https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/Building-and-Installing-HHVM>_.

Besides the extension, we recommend using it in combination with our userland library <https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library>_ which is distributed as mongodb/mongodb <https://packagist.org/packages/mongodb/mongodb>_ for Composer.
