The PHP team is happy to announce that the first release candidate for 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 also ensures that all argument errors are correctly exposed as MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException on PHP 7. PHP 8 handles argument checks differently, so extra arguments or wrong types will trigger built-in errors.
A complete list of resolved issues in this release may be found at: https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12484&version=30258

Documentation is available on PHP.net:
