In our previous article titled “Installing and configuring php mongo driver with Apache in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS“, we have seen, how to install and configure php-mongo driver to connect to a MongoDB database from php.
In this article, we will create a PHP program to connect to a MongoDB database by authenticating user name with password using MongoClient api.
1. Prerequisites for this PHP application
- A web server with PHP and php-mongo driver installed
- A MongoDB server with or with out authentication enabled
2. Create a file namely mongodemo.php in the document root of the web server with the given below php code
<?php
/**
User name : admu
Password : new_pass
MongoDB host : localhost
MongoDB port : 27017
Database : university
*/
$server = "mongodb://admu:new_pass@localhost:27017/university";
/**
Remove username and password, if you want
to connect to an unauthenticated MongoDB database.
See the example code below
*/
// $server = "mongodb://localhost:27017/university";
// Connecting to server
$c = new MongoClient( $server );
if($c->connected)
echo "Connected successfully";
else
echo "Connection failed";
?>
3. Code in Action
Open the php file namely “mongodemo.php” using its url in a web browser. If the connection to the MongoDB server is established successfully, then a page similar to the given below will be displayed.
