## Installing the MongoDB PHP Driver on Windows

Precompiled binaries for each release are available from » PECL for a variety of combinations of versions, thread safety, and VC libraries. Extract the archive and put php_mongodb.dll in your PHP extension directory ("ext" by default).

Add the following line to your php.ini file:

    extension=php_mongodb.dll

> Note: Additional DLL dependencies for Windows Users

> In order for this extension to work, there are DLL files that must be available to the Windows system PATH. For information on how to do this, see the FAQ entitled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows".
