  <title>Architecture Overview</title>

   This article explains how all the different components of the PHP driver fit

     MongoDB PHP Driver Architecture Diagram. The lowest level of the driver is
     our system libraries: libmongoc, libbson, and libmongocrypt. The middle
     level is the MongoDB PHP extension. The upper level is PHP userland and
     includes the MongoDB PHP library and higher-level packages such as
     framework integrations and applications.

  <para>
   At the top of this stack sits a
   <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.library;">PHP library</link>,
   which is distributed as a
   <link xlink:href="&url.packagist.package;/mongodb/mongodb">Composer package</link>.
   This library provides an API consistent with other MongoDB
   <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.drivers;">drivers</link>
   and implements various cross-driver
   <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.specs;">specifications</link>.
   While the extension can be used directly, the library has minimal overhead and
   should be a common dependency for most applications built with MongoDB.
  </para>

  <para>
   Sitting below that library is a PHP extension, which is distributed through
   <link xlink:href="&url.pecl.package;mongodb">PECL</link>.
   The extension forms the glue between PHP and our system libraries
   (<link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libmongoc;">libmongoc</link>,
   <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libbson;">libbson</link>, and
   <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libmongocrypt;">libmongocrypt</link>).
   Its public API provides only the most essential functionality:

  <section>
   <title>Connection and topology persistence (PHP version since 1.2.0)</title>

   <para>
    All versions of the extension since 1.2.0 persist the
    <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libmongoc;">libmongoc</link> client object in
    the PHP worker process, which allows it to re-use database connections,
    authentication states, <emphasis>and</emphasis> topology information across
    multiple requests.
   </para>

   <para>
    When <methodname>MongoDB\Driver\Manager::__construct</methodname> is
    invoked, a hash is created from its arguments (i.e. URI string and array
    options). The extension will attempt to find a previously persisted
    <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libmongoc;">libmongoc</link> client object for
    that hash. If an existing client cannot be found for the hash, a new client
    will be created and persisted for future use. This behavior can be disabled
    via the <literal>"disableClientPersistence"</literal> driver option.
   </para>

   <para>
    Each client contains its own database connections and a view of the server
    topology (e.g. standalone, replica set, shard cluster). By persisting the
    client between PHP requests, the extension is able to re-use established
    database connections and remove the need for
    <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.sdam;">discovering the server topology</link>
    on each request.
   </para>

   <para>
    Consider the following example:
   </para>

   <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php

$managers = [
    new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://127.0.0.1'),
    new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://127.0.0.1'),
    new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'),
    new MongoDB\Driver\Manager('mongodb://rs1.example.com,rs2.example.com/', ['replicaSet' => 'myReplicaSet']),
];

foreach ($managers as $manager) {
    $manager->executeCommand('test', new MongoDB\Driver\Command(['ping' => 1]));
}

?>
]]>
   </programlisting>

   <para>
    The first two Manager objects will share the same
    <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libmongoc;">libmongoc</link> client since
    their constructor arguments are identical. The third and fourth objects will
    each use their own client. In total, three clients will be created and the
    PHP worker executing this script will open two connections to
    <literal>127.0.0.1</literal> and one connection to each of
    <literal>rs1.example.com</literal> and <literal>rs2.example.com</literal>.
    If the extension discovers additional members of the replica set after
    issuing <literal>hello</literal> commands, it will open additional
    connections to those servers as well.
   </para>

   <para>
    If the same worker executes the script again in a second request, the three
    clients will be re-used and no new connections will be made. Depending on
    how long ago the previous request was served, the extension may need to
    issue additional <literal>hello</literal> commands to update its view of the
    topologies.
   </para>
  </section>

  <section>
   <title>Socket persistence (PHP versions before 1.2.0)</title>

   <para>
    Versions of the extension before 1.2.0 utilize PHP&apos;s Streams API for
    database connections, using an API within
    <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.libmongoc;">libmongoc</link> to designate
    custom handlers for socket communication; however, a new libmongoc client is
    created for each <classname>MongoDB\Driver\Manager</classname>. As a result,
    the extension persists individual database connections but not
    authentication state or topology information. This means that the extension
    needs to issue commands at the start of each request to authenticate and
    <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.sdam;">discover the server topology</link>.
   </para>

   <para>
    Database connections are persisted by a hash derived from the server&apos;s
    host, port, and the URI string used to construct the
    <classname>MongoDB\Driver\Manager</classname>. The constructor&apos;s array
    options are not included in this hash.
   </para>

   <note>
    <simpara>
     Versions of the extension &gt;= 1.1.8 and &lt; 1.2.0 do not persist sockets
     for SSL connections. See
     <link xlink:href="&url.mongodb.jira.phpc;-720">PHPC-720</link> for
     additional information.
    </simpara>
   </note>

   <para>
    Despite its shortcomings with persisting SSL connections when and topology
    information, this version of the extension supports all
    <link linkend="context.ssl">SSL context options</link> since it uses
    PHP&apos;s Streams API.

   <title>Deserialization from BSON</title>

   &mongodb.warning.duplicate-keys;

   <para>
    The legacy <code>mongo</code> extension deserialized
    both BSON documents and arrays as PHP arrays. While PHP arrays are
    convenient to work with, this behavior was problematic because different
    BSON types could deserialize to the same PHP value (e.g.
    <literal>{"0": "foo"}</literal> and <literal>["foo"]</literal>) and make it
    impossible to infer the original BSON type. By default, the
    <code>mongodb</code> extension addresses this concern by ensuring that BSON
    arrays and documents are converted to PHP arrays and objects, respectively.
   </para>
   <para>
    For compound types, there are three data types:
   </para>

   <para>
    <variablelist>
     <varlistentry>
      <term>root</term>
      <listitem>

   <para>
    Besides the three collective types, it is also possible to configure
    specific fields in your document to map to the data types mentioned below.
    As an example, the following type map allows you to
    map each embedded document within an <literal>"addresses"</literal> array to
    an <classname>Address</classname> class <emphasis>and</emphasis> each
    <literal>"city"</literal> field within those embedded address documents to
    a <classname>City</classname> class:

]]>
    </programlisting>
