Downgrading a PECL extension

less than 1 minute read

I recently upgraded the Mongo PECL extension that a project depended upon, only to get hit with a load of Segfaults on OSX.
I had used the pecl upgrade mongo command, but couldn’t find a commmand to downgrade it.

The solution was to use the -f flag to instruct PECL to install a particular version, in this case, 1.2.12

  # format: package-version
  sudo pecl install -f mongo-1.2.12

You can then run pecl list to verify that the correct version has been installed.
