The Mongo PHP Adapter is a userland library designed to act as an adapter

between applications relying on ext-mongo and the new driver (`ext-mongodb`).



It provides the API of ext-mongo built on top of mongo-php-library, thus being

compatible with PHP 7.



# Goal



This library aims to provide a compatibility layer for applications that rely on

libraries using ext-mongo, e.g.

[Doctrine MongoDB ODM](https://github.com/doctrine/mongodb-odm), but want to

migrate to PHP 7 on which `ext-mongo` will not run.



You should not be using this library if you do not rely on a library using

`ext-mongo`. If you are starting a new project, please check out

[mongodb/mongodb](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library).



# Installation



This library requires you to have the `mongodb` extension installed, and it

conflicts with the legacy `mongo` extension.



The preferred method of installing this library is with

[Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) by running the following from your project

root:



    $ composer config "platform.ext-mongo" "1.6.16" && composer require alcaeus/mongo-php-adapter



The above command first marks the `mongo` extension as installed, then requires

this adapter. This is to work around a bug in composer, see

[composer/composer#5030](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/5030).



# Known issues



## Return values and exceptions



Some methods may not throw exceptions with the same exception messages as their

counterparts in `ext-mongo`. Do not rely on exception messages being the same.



Methods that return a result array containing a `connectionId` field will always

return `0` as connection ID.



## Errors



All errors and warnings triggered by `ext-mongo` are triggered as `E_USER_WARNING`

and `E_USER_ERROR` because `trigger_error` doesn't accept the `E_WARNING` and

`E_USER` codes. If you rely on these error codes in your error handling routines,

please update your code accordingly.



## Serialization of objects

Serialization of any Mongo* objects (e.g. MongoGridFSFile, MongoCursor, etc.)

will not work properly. The objects can be serialized but are not usable after

unserializing them.



## Mongo



 - The Mongo class is deprecated and was not implemented in this library. If you

 are still using it please update your code to use the new classes.



## MongoLog



 - The [MongoLog](http://php.net/manual/en/class.mongolog.php) class does not

 log anything because the underlying driver does not offer a method to retrieve

 this data.



## MongoClient



 - The [connect](https://php.net/manual/en/mongoclient.connect.php) and

 [close](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/mongoclient.close.php) methods are not

 implemented because the underlying driver connects lazily and does not offer

 methods for connecting disconnecting.

 - The [getConnections](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/mongoclient.getconnections.php)

 method is not implemented because the underlying driver does not offer a method

 to retrieve this data.

 - The [killCursor](https://php.net/manual/en/mongoclient.killcursor.php) method

 is not yet implemented.



## MongoDB

 - The [authenticate](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/mongodb.authenticate.php)

 method is not supported. To connect to a database with authentication, please

 supply the credentials using the connection string.

 - The `$cmd` collection cannot be used due to an issue in the underlying driver.

 To run commands, use the [command](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/mongodb.command.php)

 method instead of querying the virtual `$cmd` collection.



## MongoCollection



 - The [insert](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocollection.insert.php),

 [batchInsert](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocollection.batchinsert.php),

 and [save](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocollection.save.php)

 methods take the first argument by reference. While the original API does not

 explicitely specify by-reference arguments it does add an ID field to the

 objects and documents given.

 - The [parallelCollectionScan](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocollection.parallelcollectionscan.php)

 method is not yet implemented.



## MongoCursor

 - The [info](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocursor.info.php) method does not

 reliably fill all fields in the cursor information. This includes the `numReturned`

 and `server` keys once the cursor has started iterating. The `numReturned` field

 will always show the same value as the `at` field. The `server` field is lacking

 authentication information.

 - The [setFlag](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocursor.setflag.php)

 method is not yet implemented.

 - The [timeout](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocursor.timeout.php) method will

 not change any query options. Client-side timeouts are no longer supported by

 the new driver. Use the maxTimeMS setting as a replacement.



## MongoCommandCursor

 - The [createFromDocument](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocommandcursor.createfromdocument.php)

 method is not yet implemented.

 - The [info](https://php.net/manual/en/mongocommandcursor.info.php) method does not

 reliably fill all fields in the cursor information. This includes the `at`, `numReturned`,

 `firstBatchAt` and `firstBatchNumReturned` fields. The `at` and `numReturned`

 fields always return 0 for compatibility to MongoCursor. The `firstBatchAt` and

 `firstBatchNumReturned` fields will contain the same value, which is the internal

 position of the iterator.



# Development



If you are working on patches to this driver, you can run the unit tests by following these steps from the root of the repo directory:



    $ composer install

    $ vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit --verbose



It assumes that the the `localhost` is running a mongod server. Here is a sample command to start mongod for these tests:



    $ mongod --smallfiles --fork --logpath /var/log/mongod.log --setParameter enableTestCommands=1



The tests also assume PHP 5.6+ and the `ext-mongodb` extension being available.
