i'm having an issue loading the php extension for mongo. i'm running windows 7 (32bt), with php 5.2. i'm trying to update my php.ini file with the correct dll name, but not sure which of the dll's to use. i know which php file to update.
the two sites i've found are:
https://github.com/stealth35/stealth35.github.com/downloads
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver/downloads
of these two sites, which windows (32bt) version am i to use?
any help on this would be much appreciated. thank you.
I'm going to recommend a 3rd place https://s3.amazonaws.com/drivers.mongodb.org/php/index.html
Now if you look in the latest version: php_mongo-1.4.5.zip (it has older versions there also) you'll see
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.2-vc9-nts.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.2-vc9.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.3-vc9-nts-x86_64.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.3-vc9-nts.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.3-vc9-x86_64.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.3-vc9.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.4-vc9-nts-x86_64.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.4-vc9-nts.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.4-vc9-x86_64.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.4-vc9.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.5-vc11-nts-x86_64.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.5-vc11-nts.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.5-vc11-x86_64.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.5-vc11.dll
x86_64 are the 64 bit versions, since you are running 32 bit windows, you can ignore those, and the number that comes after 1.4.5(the mongo version) is the php version it expects aka 1.4.5-5.3 is php 5.3, mongo 1.4.5, so that narrows down the list to:
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.2-vc9-nts.dll
php_mongo-1.4.5-5.2-vc9.dll
vc9 refers to the visual studio it was compiled with, I believe vs9 is VS2008 ,and nts refers to "Non-Thread Safe" , if you are using threads use the php_mongo-1.4.5-5.2-vc9.dll ,
Place it in the "ext" directory for your php install(or wherever the extensions directory is) then add
extension=php_mongo-1.4.5-5.2-vc9.dll
or extension=php_mongo.dll (if you rename it to php_mongo.dll) to your php.ini
