I have read few post here on solving my issue but neither works for php-5.6.
I downloaded php_mongo-1.6.8.zip and php_mongo-1.6.7.zip and tried all the .dll extensions and all of them gives one or the other error.
Error message:
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mongo-1.6.8-5.6-vc11-x86_64.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
in Unknown on line 0
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_mongo-1.6.8-5.6-vc11.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
P.S.: I am using XAMPP for my environment.
I installed mongo extension with following steps:
- Download and install xampp-win32-5.6.12-0-VC11-installer.exe to
C:\xampp
on Windows 7
- Download http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/mongo/1.6.11/php_mongo-1.6.11-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip, extract
php_mongo.dll
and copy it to C:\xampp\php\ext
- Add to
C:\xampp\php\php.ini
line extension=php_mongo.dll
Without further configuration, I see mongo extension in command line (C:\xampp\php\php.exe -i | findstr mongo
) but Apache complains about missing libsasl.dll
and mongo is missing in http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php. Ok, what next?
- Copy
C:\xampp\php\libsasl.dll
to C:\xampp\apache\bin\
, restart Apache and enjoy.
This howto worked for me well. I hope it will help to resolve your issue.
In your php.ini file, uncomment this configuration, and restart your Apache Server:
; extension_dir = "ext"
If it doesn't work, try to put an absolute path to your extension directory, where php_mongo-1.6.8-5.6-vc11.dll
reside.
UPDATE
I have found this information in PHP_OFFICIAL_WEBSITE
I think you should also add libsasl.dll
to your PATH environment variable
Follow below steps to make Mongo work for PHP-5.6
- goto https://pecl.php.net/package/mongo/1.6.14/windows
- download php_mongo-1.6.14-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip
- extract the zip file and copy php_mongo.dll
- open PHP ext directory and paste the dll file
- add the following line to your php.ini file
extension=php_mongo.dll
- restrat apache and test with below php code
// connect to mongodb
echo extension_loaded("mongo") ? "loaded\n" : "not loaded\n";
$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017");
echo "Connection to database successfully";
// select a database
$db = $m->testdb; // where testdb is already existing Database
echo "Database testdb selected";
Note : Check the "mongo" module is loaded or mot using phpinfo()
Follow the steps described here:

User "kba" described the same steps. This steps should work. Just do everything that's indicated there.
