Answer 1

It seems that you have an old version of the PHP's MongoDB extension, so you need to update it.

To update this extension, you have to run the following command on your terminal:

sudo apt install php8.1-mongodb

This way, your MongoDB extension will be updated to the latest version (which is 1.17.3, at the time of writing this answer)

Side note: PHP 8.1 is no longer actively supported, currently it's only accepting critical security fixes, and in November it will reach its end-of-life stage, so it's highly recommended that you update to version 8.2 or 8.3.
