What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
The legacy MongoDB PHP driver (ext-mongo), a PHP extension providing an interface for communicating with MongoDB databases. It is officially end-of-life and users are directed to the modern mongodb/mongo-php-driver (ext-mongodb).
Use cases
- connect to MongoDB from PHP with the old ext-mongo extension
- maintain a legacy PHP 5 application using the mongo driver
- reference archived documentation for the legacy MongoDB PHP driver
- build the mongo.so PHP extension from source
- use GridFS file storage from legacy PHP code
When to choose
- you are maintaining an old PHP 5 codebase that already depends on ext-mongo and cannot migrate
- you need historical documentation or source for the legacy driver
When to avoid
- starting any new PHP project - use mongodb/mongo-php-driver instead
- running PHP 7 or later - the legacy driver does not support PHP 7
- you need bug fixes, security patches, or support for modern MongoDB server features
