Installing the PHP 7 MongoDB Client/Driver?

To install the PHP 7 MongoDB driver, you can use the PECL (PHP Extension Community Library) command-line tool. First, make sure that you have PECL installed on your system. Then, you can run the following command:

pecl install mongodb

This will install the latest version of the MongoDB driver for PHP 7. After the installation is complete, you will need to add the following line to your PHP configuration file (php.ini):

extension=mongodb.so

Then you will have to restart your web server.
