I have successfully installed Mongodb on my win 7 system. I also installed php extension for MongoDB on my Wamp server and it works perfectly; yet I wish to know how I can use MongoDB in my laravel4 projects. I will like to use mongovel package but when I run 'composer update' there is always an error: php extension not found in your system. Also I installed jessengers package but got an error: MongoClient not available. Please I need help on how to get out of this. Thanks
You need to make sure that the extension is also available on the command line. In many cases there is a different php.ini for CLI. You can find this out by running:
php --ri mongo
if that does not provide any sort of output about version and settings, you don't have it installed properly.
Then you can use php --ini to find out where your INI files are - the ones that are used for running PHP on the command line
