As of Ubuntu 20.04, php-mongodb in the database is outdated and you'll need the PECL method to install latest version of MongoDB.
To do this in Ubuntu, you'll need the php-pear plugin and php-dev:
sudo apt install php-dev php-pear
then you can run:
sudo pecl install mongodb
Installing the MongoDB PHP Driver with PECL
Informazioni per l'installazione di questa estensione PECL possono essere trovate nel capitolo del manuale intitolato Installazione delle estensioni PECL. Informazioni aggiuntive come nuove release, download, file sorgenti, informazioni del manutentore e un CHANGELOG possono essere trovate qui: » https://pecl.php.net/package/mongodb
Linux, Unix, and macOS users may run the following command to install the driver:
$ sudo pecl install mongodb
On systems with multiple version of PHP installed (e.g. macOS default, Homebrew, » XAMPP), each version of PHP will have its own pecl command and php.ini file(s). Additionally, each PHP environments (e.g. CLI, web) may use separate php.ini files.
As of driver version 1.17.0, PECL will prompt for various
configure options. To install the driver with default
options in a non-interactive script, empty string input may be piped to
pecl install using the yes command:
$ yes '' | sudo pecl install mongodb
A complete list of supported configure options can be
found in the package.xml file included in the PECL
package. To install the driver with specific configure
options in a non-interactive script, the
--configureoptions option for
pecl install may be used:
$ sudo pecl install --configureoptions='with-mongodb-system-libs="yes" enable-mongodb-developer-flags="no"' mongodb
By default, installing the driver via PECL will use bundled versions of » libbson, » libmongoc, and » libmongocrypt and attempt to automatically configure them.
Nota: If the build process fails to find an SSL library, check that the development packages (e.g.
libssl-dev) and » pkg-config are both installed. If that does not resolve the problem, consider using the manual installation process.
Finally, add the following line to the php.ini file for each environment that will need to use the driver:
extension=mongodb.so

An additional requirement might be pkg-config (on Ubuntu 14.04).
$ pecl install mongodb
...
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's libraries
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/mongodb/configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config' failed
But:
$ apt-get install pkg-config
...
Setting up pkg-config (0.26-1ubuntu4) ...
$ pecl install mongodb
...
Build process completed successfully
Installing '/usr/lib/php/20151012/mongodb.so'
install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongodb-1.1.7
configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=mongodb.so" to php.ini

On Ubuntu you can just do:
sudo apt-get install php-mongodb
or the same for specific PHP version:
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mongo
or
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mongodb

[Editor's note: fixed typo]
There are some additional requirements you need to build the pecl package.
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libsslcommon2-dev

Hi,
I am looking into installation of php mongo db driver.
I have checked with phpinfo it shows mongodb module have been loaded but when I use in my code it give error "Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'MongoDB' not found "
i have another module for redis and it works perfectly . Initially I was getting same error but phpinfo was showing module is not loaded .
I guess there is some problem with driver. I have tried all the documents and website links which mention to include extenstion=mongodb.so which i have already done.
I am using open suse 42.2 leap with apache server.
Could you please investigate this issue.
If you need more info please let me know.
Thanks
