Testing

The tests are not available as part of the PECL package, but they are available on Github.
They use [PHPUnit](from http://www.phpunit.de). To run the tests:

$ phpunit tests/MongoSuite.php

There must be a mongod instance running on port 27017 in order to run the tests. They also assume that php.ini sets error_reporting to E_STRICT | E_ALL.

The tests will spit out a bunch of warnings if you do not have mongo-php-driver/php on your include path, but it will just skip the tests that require that.

The tests will also attempt to create an admin user using the shell. If mongo is not on your path, you will get some output complaining about it but those tests will just be skipped.
