The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.9.0 of the mongodb PHP extension is now available on PECL.
Release Highlights
This release makes the extension compatible with PHP 8.
This release ensures that all functions in the extension throw MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException instead of emitting a PHP error or warning during argument parsing (e.g. E_WARNING). Previous versions of the driver generally only did this for constructors, which was inconsistent. Note that this behavior does not apply to cases where PHP throws an Error (e.g. TypeError), which is done more consistently in PHP 8 (see: Consistent Type Errors).
The MongoDB\Driver\Cursor class now implements the Iterator interface directly. This change was necessary to ensure consistent behavior across all supported PHP versions.
