Your driver version is too low: 1.2.12
The "MongoClient" starts from 1.3.0
Update your mongo driver with "pecl install mongo"

Yes, the problem can be solved by issue "sudo pecl install mongo" command. And perhaps that php5-mongo package should be upgraded to 1.3 base to close this bug. ;)

I already had run "sudo pecl install mongo", and then got the php error, "Fatal error: Class 'MongoClient' not found in /var/www/info.php on line 7", line 7 being: "$m = new MongoClient(); //connect". When I try to try to sudo pecl install mongo it just says it is already installed and at 1.3.2!

So, what about having to complile mongo-php drivers, etc, stuff like that? How straight-forward/or not is it?

I [a]installed MongoDB and can insert records, find() them, etc, then I create a PHP page and try to connect to MongoDB - is it that simple? What else is needed? - please all of it in bullet form, not just "well you have to prepare all the dependencies" something like that - is there a set of steps that can be outlined, so that once MongoDB exists and works, then PHP can connect to it and display some of the records? Thanks!!
