To use MongoDB with PHP, you need to use MongoDB PHP driver. CLICKHERE to download the driver. Make sure to download the latest release of it. Now unzip the archive and put php_mongo.dll in your PHP extension directory ("C:\xampp\php\ext" by default) and add the following line to your php.ini file.
extension = php_mongo.dll
Following is the code snippet to connect to the database :
<?php
// connect to mongodb
$m = new MongoClient();
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->myTestdb; // myTestdb-> Your Database Name
echo "Database myTestdbselected";
?>
When the program is executed, it will produce the following result −
Connection to database successfully
Database myTestdb selected
