How to install on macOS Mojave
Start with:
sudo pecl install mongodb
To check if mongodb package is installed, look for "mongodb" when you run:
pecl list
To get your installed mongodb.so path, run:
pecl list-files mongodb | grep mongodb.so
then remove (or comment out) on your php.ini file:
extension="mongodb.so"
(I could not found a line with extension="php_mongodb.so")
now insert a line with:
extension="{{the path to your installed mongodb.so}}"
Run this command to get your ext-*.ini directory path:
php -i | grep Scan
Create your ext-mongodb.ini with:
touch {{your conf.d path}}/ext-mongodb.ini
like:
touch /usr/local/etc/php/7.1/conf.d/ext-mongodb.ini
Restart your apache to read the new configuration
Sanity check with:
php -i | grep mongodb
Your're ready to go.
Installing the MongoDB PHP Driver on macOS with Homebrew
» Homebrew 1.5.0 deprecated the » Homebrew/php tap and removed formulae for individual PHP extensions. Going forward, macOS users are advised to install the » php formula and follow the standard PECL installation instructions using the pecl command provided by the Homebrew PHP installation.

The mongodb install has been removed from Homebrew. To install the mongodb extension you need to use pecl.
sudo pecl install mongodb
You may need to follow some additional configuration. Follow the inline instructions as they appear. Once the install is finished it will add two lines at the bottom of your php.ini file. Instead, remove these lines and add the and add a separate file to your conf.d directory in the same directory as you php.ini file.
In php.ini remove
extension="mongodb.so" // remove
extension="php_mongodb.so // remove
Then run:
$ touch /usr/local/etc/php/5.6/conf.d/ext-mongodb.ini
Finally add this line to the new file:
// example
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php@5.6/5.6.35/pecl/20131226/mongodb.so"

All formulas in homebrew/php has been deleted or moved to homebrew/core.
To avoid installation problem in homebrew, you can use the command below:
brew tap kyslik/php
brew install phpXX-mongodb

You must first tap the PHP formula repository from terminal like so
brew tap homebrew/php
in order to install PHP extensions like MongoDB via Homebrew.
After tapping the formula repository, install the MongoDB extension
brew install phpxx-mongodb
where xx is the version number.

No only just you install it via brew for correct version of php installed on your machine.
You have to set extension in php.ini too.
In case of macOS and php 5.6 installed.
I have to set
extension="/usr/local/opt/php56-mongo/mongo.so"
The correct path will show mongodb loaded on phpinfo.

The correct command for installation is using homebrew is
brew install homebrew/php/phpxx-mongodb
For ex. to install the driver for php5.6 use :
brew install homebrew/php/php55-mongodb
