Auth, exceptions, virtualized test suite

This release adds support for all-but-kerberos authentication mechanisms.

It also contains improved exception handling, by throwing more usefully named exceptions (eg MongoDB\DuplicateKeyException, MongoDB\ConnectionException, ....).

A lot of work has gone into the test suite too.
It is now fully virtualized, so you don't have to risk your localhost/production environment.
In the future this environment will also be the base for most examples provided.

To spin up the test environment type

$ vagrant up ldap mo
$ make test-bootstrap

Which will result in server mongod servers being created:

Standalone server running on: mongodb://192.168.112.10:2000
Standalone SSL server running on: mongodb://192.168.112.10:2100
Standalone Auth server running on: mongodb://192.168.112.10:2200
Standalone X509 Auth server running on: mongodb://192.168.112.10:2300
Standalone PLAIN Auth server running on: mongodb://192.168.112.10:2400

And lastly; We now have our own project in JIRA:
https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PHPC

As always, I welcome feedback, comments, praises and suggestions!

0.1.2 and new user-friendly API!

Command cursors are here! \o/

Renamed all the getters of WriteResult to make more sense, and fixed a failure in libmongoc when replacing entire documents. For more details, see the RELEASE-0.1.2 file included in the project.

We've also started working on a PHP userland API, which aims to provide more useful bindings for applications (over the raw driver methods). The new package, which will have its own repository, is developed to be compatible to the new MongoDB CRUD Specification for drivers.

0.1.1

Now supports SSL Connections and SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication (for MongoDB 2.8).

Initial development release!

This is the first release of the highly experimental MongoDB Driver for PHP: phongo.

It is in no way recommended for production use at this time.

The idea of this driver is to be sleek MongoDB binding, offering minimal functionality, and leave it up to frameworks, libraries, toolkits and applications to provide pretty and intuitive wrappers. It is built on top of libmongoc and libbson, so the driver can focus on just what it needs: providing a familiar experience to the user.

The hope is this will result in even better performance than the current PHP driver, while still providing an intuitive interface to work with. The net effect will be reduced maintenance and faster turnaround.

In the near future we hope to provide "ODM" style bindings for converting a model class into a document and vice versa, seamlessly.

See PHP-1066 for the current TODO list.

Let us know what you think!

To install the driver:

$ wget https://github.com/bjori/phongo/releases/download/0.1.0/phongo-0.1.0.tgz
$ pecl install phongo-0.1.0.tgz
$ echo "extension=phongo.so" >> `php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration" | sed -e "s|.*:\s*||"`
$ php --re phongo | less
