Installing Mongodb PHP Drivers on Ubuntu 18.04

I have installed mongodb on a new Ubuntu 18.04 server. I can access and work with the database through the command line, but cannot access it via PHP, and was wondering how other people have gotten it to work.

Following a new build of Ubuntu 18.04, and installation of LAMP, I ran:
sudo apt install mongodb-server php-pear php7.2-dev sudo pecl install mongodb

I then added the mongodb.so extension to the php.ini file, and a phpinfo(); page shows mongodb as installed. So far so good.

If I browse to a test php page ($mongo=new Mongo();), the page fails to load though.

Through web searches, I find the https://github.com/alcaeus/mongo-php-adapter page come up a lot, and I have run the composer installation command there, but to no avail.

Installed versions are: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS; mongoDBv3.6.3; php 7.2.17; Apache 2.4.29

I was wondering what steps other people who have gotten PHP to work successfully with Mongodb have followed? I plan to scrap this server and start from a fresh VM install again.

It appears that you're attempting to use the Mongo class from the legacy driver, but you're using the non-legacy driver so that class doesn't exist. Please look at the documentation for the updated version of the driver here. You might also consider using the MongoDB PHP Library to abstract away many of the driver calls.

Please note that there are also compatibility considerations between your versions of the PHP library, MongoDB, and the MongoDB PHP driver. You can find the compatibility information for them here.
