+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The {+php-library+} is a high-level abstraction for the MongoDB PHP extension, which
+you can use to connect to MongoDB and interact with data stored in your deployment.
+This guide shows you how to create an application that uses the {+php-library+} to
+connect to a MongoDB cluster hosted on MongoDB Atlas and query data in your cluster.
+
+.. tip:: 
+
+   MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service that hosts your MongoDB
+   deployments. You can create your own free (no credit card required) MongoDB Atlas 
+   deployment by following the steps in this guide.
+
+Follow this guide to connect a sample PHP application to a MongoDB Atlas
+deployment. If you prefer to connect to MongoDB using a different driver or
+programming language, see our :driver:`list of official drivers <>`.

+   .. step:: Install Dependencies
+
+      Before you begin developing, ensure that you have the following
+      dependencies installed on your local machine:
+      
+      - `PHP <https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php>`__
+      - `Composer <https://getcomposer.org/download/>`__
+    
+   .. step:: Install the MongoDB Extension
+
+      Run the following command to install the ``mongodb`` PHP extension:
+      
+      .. code-block:: bash
+
+         sudo pecl install mongodb
+
+   .. step:: Update your PHP Configuration File
+
+      To enable the ``mongodb`` extension, add the following line to your
+      ``php.ini`` file:
+
+      .. code-block:: bash
+
+         extension=mongodb.so
+
+      .. tip::
+
+         You can locate your ``php.ini`` file by running the following command
+         from your shell:
+
+         .. code-block:: bash
+
+            php --ini
+
+   .. step:: Create a project directory
+
+      From your root directory, run the following command in your shell to create
+      a directory called ``php-quickstart`` for this project:
+
+      .. code-block:: bash
+
+         mkdir php-quickstart
+
+      Run the following commands to create a ``quickstart.php`` application file in
+      the ``php-quickstart`` directory:
+
+      .. code-block:: bash
+
+         cd php-quickstart
+         touch quickstart.php
+
+   .. step:: Install the {+php-library+}
+
+      To install the {+php-library+}, run the following command from your ``php-quickstart``
+      directory:
+
+      .. code-block:: bash
+
+         composer require mongodb/mongodb
+      
+      After installing the library, include Composer's ``autoload.php`` file by adding the
+      following line to ``quickstart.php``:
+
+      .. code-block:: bash
+
+         require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
+
+After you complete these steps, you have a new project directory
+and the driver dependencies installed.
