is MongoDB extension not supported?

[bornemisza]

I ran into similar problem like someone else as well (mongodb/laravel-mongodb#2701), that running Laravel Octane with FrankenPHP. Seems like MongoDB extension does not work with FrankenPHP. I have tested with Roadrunner and Swole also, but it worked perfectly fine with them.

Reproduction:

• Extend Laravel Sail dockerfile with "pecl install mongodb" and add the "extension=mongodb.so" to php.ini. (PHP 8.1 - 8.3)
• Install "mongodb/laravel-mongodb" and follow this guide: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/php/laravel-mongodb/current/quick-start/configure-mongodb/
• Try to store something into the database and you'll recieve Class "MongoDB\Driver\Manager" not found..

I have checked with php -m and phpinfo() that mongodb extension is enabled/activated.

I have not found any related docs or code to solve this issue. Maybe it'll be a pinpoint for someone as well. Any thought from community?

You need to use Octane with Docker for now to use MongoDB. The static binary doesn't support Mongo yet. We could add support for Mongo for the static binary on Linux, but not for macOS yet: https://static-php.dev/en/guide/extensions.html

Thank you @dunglas for your quick reply. I'm currently using Octane with Docker especially running on Ubuntu 22.04, so I would appreciate to have it on Linux. Possible to get a notification somehow if you add support for it?

If you are using Docker this should already work. Just install the Mongo extension with the provided script.

Interesting. It is installed still not working, like I said in main discussion. What do you think where do I go sideway? Happy to debug more btw. Should I create a repo to demo?

Try running frankenphp php-cli and checking the output of phpinfo for the mongo extension. This way, you can be sure that whatever php.ini you have frankenphp including is showing the extension as being installed.

Also, I recommend using install-php-extensions mongodb instead of using pecl directly, as it enables a few settings for you that are probably recommended

I'm also going through the same problem.
I have already confirmed that the extension is installed and configured.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
