Error with PECL command in PHP7

Posted on March 3, 2016

I’ve upgraded php to version 7 and now I have problems with pecl command. When I run sudo pecl install mongo I get long list of errors:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in Command.php on line 249

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 249

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in Command.php on line 249

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 249

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in Command.php on line 249

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 249

I’ve tried solutions from this question: https://serverfault.com/questions/589877/pecl-command-produces-long-list-of-errors but it’s not working. I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 with PHP7, I installed php-dev package

i have this problem too i have php 5.6 and some php 7.1 lib on ubonto 16 so after a lot of search i found that i need to install this list --> and after its works!!

so i installed

apt-get install php-pear

apt-get install pkg-config

apt-get install libbson-1.0

apt-get install libmongoc-1.0-0

apt-get install php-xml php7.0-xml

apt-get install php-dev

then Add the following line to your php.ini file:

extension=mongodb.so

some more information for php 7.1 you must use the “mongodb” extension for php 5.6 you need to use “mongo” (dont sure if it must - but i didnt success to use mongodb in php 5.6 )

so for php 5.6 use “apt-get php5.6-mongo”

Hey there,

It looks like the ‘mongo’ package has been depreciated with PHP 7. You might have better luck with the following:

pecl install mongodb

For more information you should take a look at the following resources:
