Hello,
As part of using this for our project one of our teams need PHP driver for
cassandra. the datastax page says its in ALPHA, is there some release
candidate that people have used or any way to get this working with PHP ?
Thanks

You should use the Datastax one. It is the only maintained PHP driver and
will shortly be the defacto standard.

Hey Alex,
We are planning on using Cassandra 2.0.13 and looks like it will take us a
month to go production. Since the team that needs PHP is only going to
read, if we dont think there is to much integration testing or otherwise we
need to do with PHP driver so if we get a PHP production driver in 3 weeks,
i think we should be fine, though i still have to discuss this with the
other team, they might not be willing to wait so long.
thanks

What Cassandra version are you using? How soon will you need a production
ready PHP driver?

We've used the McFrazier PHP client in our project. Works well!

the php team is very stringent about response times, i will see if we can
do a node js web service or some form of inter process communication setup
between php <==> python to achieve this, thanks for the idea.

We did exactly the same thing using Node.js. Built a simple Express app
with the Datastax Node.js driver that allows us to send a CQL query (or
batch) with JSON and return the results. Being that it's a
small/efficient app we can load it on the same machine that PHP is
running on and get the benefits of the cluster aware topology that the
driver implements (aka free load balancing to the db).

Somewhat over a year ago, I set out to address the exact same issue for our
high-traffic PHP site. After several failed attempts, I tried to wrap the
C++ driver (as it was then) in extern "C" wrappers before I gave up when I
realized the driver was pre-alpha. The current implementation provides C
bindings out of the box but it relative immaturity still makes it look like
too much of a risk.
Ultimately, we set up a web service (json in/json out) written in Java
which uses the datastax Java driver to accommodate our PHP's cassandra
needs. An arbitrary number of parameterized queries can be passed to the
service which runs those queries in parallel and the result is both
reliable and very fast. I don't think it would be easy (or even possible)
for a PHP implementation to take advantage of the async interface which is
where most of the performance gain is to be had.
