Connecting to MongoDB using PDO driver

Question

Will I be able to connect to this database using PHP's php_mongo.dll driver?

If so, could you please provide some sample code?

https://api.mongolab.com/api/1/databases//collections//?apiKey= - this is what I use for rest call back.. but is there a way for connecting to this using php drivers? — user1063715, Nov 24 '11 at 10:22

MongoDB requires its own driver.

In your case, the PHP driver is located here: http://php.net/manual/en/book.mongo.php

The instructions for installing it are on that page. There is also some sample code.

I think that PDO is only for relational databases. There's no PDO driver for MongoDB.

There is list of databases which you can use with the PDO driver: http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.drivers.php. MongoDB is not among them.

You can use the PHP PDO OBDC library, if you install MongoDB BI Connector and MongoDB ODBC Driver for BI Connector.

I haven’t tried it, but I’m about to - keep you posted.
