The PHP team is happy to announce that version 1.8.0 of the MongoDB PHP library is now available. This library is a high-level abstraction for the mongodb extension.

Release Highlights

This release makes the library compatible with PHP 8.

With this release, errors that occur while copying GridFS stream contents will now cause an exception instead of relying on PHP to emit a warning. This primarily affects the downloadToStream, downloadToStreamByName, and uploadFromStream methods for MongoDB\GridFS\Bucket.
