Install PECL mongodb php driver extension in a multiphp fpm environment of CentOS 7

Question

I am trying to install pecl mongodb php driver extension in a multi php (fpm) environment of a CentOS (release 7.5) server. I have three PHP versions configured as:

systemctl enable php72-php-fpm (default)
systemctl enable php80-php-fpm
systemctl enable php82-php-fpm (mongodb ext to be installed here)

Here are the methods I have tried so far to install the extension for php8.2:

Method #1:

Command: /opt/remi/php82/root/usr/bin/pecl install mongodb

Output: Can't find PHP headers in /usr/include/php The php-devel package is required for use of this command. ERROR: 'phpize' failed

Note: mongodb-1.15.0.tgz was downloaded before the error.

Method #2:

Command: /opt/remi/php82/root/usr/bin/pecl -d php_suffix=8.2 install mongodb

Output: sh: phpize8.2: command not found ERROR: 'phpize' failed

Note: mongodb-1.15.0.tgz was downloaded before the error.

Can anyone please help? So many thanks for reading this far.

NOTE:

I have updated the pecl through:

/opt/remi/php82/root/usr/bin/pecl channel-update pecl.php.net

I have installed the following:

yum install php82-php-pear

yum install php82-php-devel

Normal extensions like mbstring, mysql are installed and working fine. Ex

yum install php82-php-mbstring -y

Though the mongodb package in available in the remi repo, I could not manage to install it from there.
The command /opt/remi/php82/root/bin/pecl config-set php_ini /opt/remi/php82/php.ini executed to update the ini file.
Output of /opt/remi/php82/root/bin/pecl config-show:

Not sure why Remi install didn't work for you. Luckily it worked for me: `yum install php81-php-pecl-mongodb` — bhu Boue vidya, Aug 17 '23 at 01:01

Updating the 'PEAR executable directory' and the 'php_ini location' in the PECL config resolved the problem:

/opt/remi/php82/root/bin/pecl config-set bin_dir /opt/remi/php82/root/bin/

/opt/remi/php82/root/bin/pecl config-set php_ini /etc/opt/remi/php82/php.ini

and then

/opt/remi/php82/root/usr/bin/pecl install mongodb

Note:

Once installed, you can add the line extension="mongodb.so" in php.ini of the desired version to activate the extension.
