Problem is the installer can't find the "php.h file". Symlink the file to the desired folder path should work.

Mac users example: ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.39/include/pcre2.h /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/8.0.16_1/include/php/ext/pcre/pcre2.h

Syntax : ln -s <path-to-file> <path-to-be-put>

This should work.

This happens when we try to install mongodb driver on the default PHP installation on MacOS. To fix this issue we should first change the PHP from default macOS PHP o our installed version.

Run the command: which php to see the PHP being used. If the output is usr/bin/php then it is the default PHP.

Then open your bash_profile file, using any code editor, and add the following line to it, where you must provide path to your PHP installation.

export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.3.1/bin:$PATH

In my case it was MAMP's PHP, then run source ~/.bash_profile to load your bash profile changes.

Now when you will run which php command, you will see the path of your PHP installation.

Now, if you try to install any PHP module using the pecl command, it should run just fine.
