I'm trying to get MongoDB working with LAMPP here. EDIT : Question was closed citing another post PHP Phar issue. This isn't about that.
Timeline of Events:
Installed LAMPP (PHP 8.2.4)
Installed MongoDB driver using
sudo /opt/lampp/bin/pecl install mongodb.Edited the php.ini of LAMPP which is in
/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini- added;extension=mongodb.so. I don't know to which PHP this got installed, as later when I check the installed modules of LAMPP's PHP using/opt/lampp/bin/php-8.2.4 -m | grep mongodb, mongodb was not listed in the modules.Installed composer not with LAMPP's PHP but the system PHP - I don't remember the command.
Tried
composer require mongodb/mongodbinide my project folder/opt/lampp/htdocs/EMS- command composer not found.Removed composer using PURGE, and installed composer again with the command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo /opt/lampp/bin/php-8.2.4 -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
viswesh@viswesh-ubuntu:/opt/lampp/htdocs/EMS$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo /opt/lampp/bin/php-8.2.4 -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer All settings correct for using Composer Downloading...
Composer (version 2.5.8) successfully installed to: /usr/local/bin/composer Use it: php /usr/local/bin/composer
- Now trying to install mongdb using composer:
/usr/local/bin/composer require mongodb/mongodb
PHP's phar extension is missing. Composer requires it to run. Enable the extension or recompile php without --disable-phar then try again.
- Then thought maybe it is referring to the global PHP again. Hence tried:
sudo /opt/lampp/bin/php-8.2.4 /opt/lampp/bin/pecl install mongodb, and I'm getting this script on the console.. (image attached)enter image description here
