Class 'MongoClient' not found

Question

I'm trying to make this code run:

<?php

$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://54.72.237.242"); 
$db = $m->tilbud; 

?>

Everytime I got the same error:

Fatal error: Class 'MongoClient' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\conexion.php

I've been reading about this problem the whole day but anything solves my issue (I guess it's something I'm doing wrong).

I downloaded the php_mongo.dll, I copied it in xampp/php/ext and I added extension=php_mongo.dll in the php.ini archive.

I've added 4 more dll's because I'm not sure which one I have to use:

• extension=php_mongo-1.5.4-5.5-vc11-nts
• extension=php_mongo-1.5.4-5.5-vc11
• extension=php_mongo-1.5.4-5.5-vc11-nts-x86_64
• extension=php_mongo-1.5.4-5.5-vc11-x86_64

So now im getting 5 warnings instead of one. At the end I guess one of them will work and I'll delete the other 4.

Things I tried and I'm sure they are ok:

• The extension_dir is pointing to the correct folder.
• The php.ini that I modified is the one that xammp loads.
• Phpinfo dosen't show anything about mongo.

What more can I try ?

Edit

I tried

echo extension_loaded("mongo") ? "loaded\n" : "not loaded\n";

and it always says 'not loaded'.

Edit

Finally! The problem was the dll's name. It has to be 'php_mongo.dll' and I was trying to load the full name dll as I said at the begining of this post. So I changed the correct dll for me (extension=php_mongo-1.5.4-5.5-vc11) for extension=php_mongo.dll and voilà!

You have not installed MongoDB PHP driver please see this link http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.installation.php

Update sources

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
sudo apt-get update

Install MongoDB PHP Driver

sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-cli php-pear -y
sudo pecl install mongo

Open your php.ini file and add to it:

extension=mongo.so

Restart apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Other helping info:

this should help to find your php.ini file:

php -i | grep 'Configuration File'

On Ubuntu it shows this:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

take a note, that you run this command from cli (command line) so for your true php.ini go to folder apache2 instead of cli :)
