A modern, feature-rich and highly tunable PHP client library for ScyllaDB and Apache Cassandra 3.0+ using exclusively Cassandra's binary protocol.
This is a wrapper around the [ScyllaDB C/C++ Driver].
Binary versions of the driver, available for Linux systems and officialy supported versions of PHP (8.1 and 8.2), can be obtained from GitHub Releases (soon).
You're also can compile the driver by yourself or use Dockerfile with a pre-set environment to run your tests.
- ScyllaDB C/C++ Shard Aware driver implemented
- Support for
duration
Session::execute()
andSession::executeAsync()
now support a simple string for the query CQL and a simple array for the query execution option- Full support for Apache Cassandra 3.0+
- Support for
tinyint
andsmallint
- Support for
date
andtime
- Support for user-defined function and aggregate metadata
- Support for secondary index and materialized view metadata
- Migration from C to C++
- Removing PHP Build system in favor of CMake
- Upgraded
Cassandra\Cluster\Builder
class to new PHP argument parsing API - Reduce memory usage from
Cassandra\Cluster\Builder
- Migrate from Behat to PestPHP
- Migrated from TravisCI to Github Actions.
This driver works exclusively with the Cassandra Query Language v3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's native protocol. The current version works with:
- ScyllaDB 4.4.x and 5.x +
- Apache Cassandra versions 3.0+
- PHP 8.1 and 8.2
- 64-bit (x64)
- Thread safe (TS) and non-thread safe (NTS)
- Compilers: GCC 13.0+, Clang 16+ and c++23
- If you're able to fix a bug yourself, you can fork the repository and submit a pull request with the fix.
- If you're not able to fix a bug yourself, please open an issue , describe it with the most details possible and wait until one of our maintainers join the conversation.
<?php
$cluster = Cassandra::cluster() // connects to localhost by default
->build();
$keyspace = 'system';
$session = $cluster->connect($keyspace); // create session, optionally scoped to a keyspace
$statement = new Cassandra\SimpleStatement( // also supports prepared and batch statements
'SELECT keyspace_name, columnfamily_name FROM schema_columnfamilies'
);
$querySent = $session->execute($statement);
$result = $querySent->get(); // wait for the result, with an optional timeout
foreach ($result as $row) { // results and rows implement Iterator, Countable and ArrayAccess
printf("The keyspace %s has a table called %s\n", $row['keyspace_name'], $row['columnfamily_name']);
}
Before you compile your driver, first check if your php
and php-config
matches the supported versions. If not,
please checkout to the available versions.
sudo update-alternatives --config php
sudo update-alternatives --config php-config
Supported Versions: 8.1 and 8.2.
Next you will learn how to build the driver to:
- Release/Production
- Debug/Development
- Optimized for Production (CAREFUL!!)
!Make sure first you cloned the repository with --recursive flag!
!Make sure you first install LibUV and LibCassandra/LibScyllaDB!
Install LibUV from your package manager. -> Preferred Way
Installing From Source
git clone --depth 1 -b v1.46.0 https://github.com/libuv/libuv.git \
&& cd libuv \
&& mkdir build \
&& cd build \
&& cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DBUILD_BENCHMARKS=OFF -DLIBUV_BUILD_SHARED=ON CMAKE_C_FLAGS="-fPIC" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="RelWithInfo" -G Ninja .. \
&& ninja install
Installing From Source (Only Way to get the latest version)
# The only difference between libscylladb and libcassandra is the name of the git repository.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-driver.git scyladb-driver \
&& cd scyladb-driver \
&& mkdir build \
&& cd build \
&& cmake -DCASS_CPP_STANDARD=17 -DCASS_BUILD_STATIC=ON -DCASS_BUILD_SHARED=ON -DCASS_USE_STD_ATOMIC=ON -DCASS_USE_TIMERFD=ON -DCASS_USE_LIBSSH2=ON -DCASS_USE_ZLIB=ON CMAKE_C_FLAGS="-fPIC" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fPIC -Wno-error=redundant-move" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="RelWithInfo" -G Ninja .. \
&& ninja install
We provide common setups using CMake Presets. You can use them by passing the preset name to CMake:
- Release
- RelWithInfo
- CI (Used by GitHub Actions)
- Debug
- ReleaseLibCassandra (Release with LibCassandra)

option(PHP_SCYLLADB_LIBCASSANDRA_STATIC "Statically link LibCassandra" OFF)
option(PHP_SCYLLADB_LIBCASSANDRA_FROM_SRC "Build LibCassandra from Source" OFF)
This build you can use it for Production purposes.
To build your Driver, you should first download a few dependencies:
apt install -y python3 python3-pip unzip mlocate build-essential ninja-build libssl-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev openssl libpcre3-dev php-dev
pip3 install cmake
# Single Line
apt install -y python3 python3-pip unzip mlocate build-essential ninja-build libssl-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev openssl libpcre3-dev php-dev && pip3 install cmake
After that, you can run the build command inside the repository root folder:
cmake --preset Release && cd out/Release && sudo ninja install
ninja install
needs root privileges.
After compiled, you will be at directory scylladb-php-driver/out/Release
and at this folder you will need to move
the cassandra.so
and cassandra.ini
to PHP respective folders.
# current directory: scylladb-php-driver/out/Release
# PHP 8.1
sudo cp ../../cassandra.ini /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/10-cassandra.ini
sudo cp cassandra.so /usr/lib/php/20210902/cassandra.so
# PHP 8.2
sudo cp ../../cassandra.ini /etc/php/8.2/cli/conf.d/10-cassandra.ini
sudo cp cassandra.so /usr/lib/php/20220829/cassandra.so
If you want to contribute to the project, you should follow the steps below.
apt update -y
apt upgrade -y
apt install -y python3 python3-pip unzip mlocate build-essential ninja-build libssl-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev openssl libpcre3-dev
pip3 install cmake cqlsh # CQL Shell - to connect into your ScyllaDB Cluster
install-php-extensions intl zip pcntl gmp composer
apt-get clean
# Single Line
apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && apt install -y python3 python3-pip unzip mlocate build-essential ninja-build libssl-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev openssl libpcre3-dev && pip3 install cmake cqlsh && install-php-extensions intl zip pcntl gmp composer && apt-get clean
After that, you can run the build command inside the repository root folder:
cmake --preset Debug && cd out/Debug && ninja
We have a "debug.php" file in the root folder that you can use it for try connection with the ScyllaDB Cluster (localhost) and check if is everything ok after change the source code.
Also you can run the PestPHP test suits inside the project and check if the functions are working as expected.
## Debug Base Command
php -d "extension=$(pwd)/out/Debug/cassandra.so" debug.php
## PestPHP Test Suite
./vendor/bin/pest -d "extension=$(pwd)/out/Debug/cassandra.so"
The "optimized build" brings a flag that makes the driver runs perfectly with your CPU. So, if you will use it, remember to build it inside the environment that you will use it.
apt install -y python3 python3-pip unzip mlocate build-essential ninja-build libssl-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev openssl libpcre3-dev php-dev
pip3 install cmake
# Single Line
apt install -y python3 python3-pip unzip mlocate build-essential ninja-build libssl-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev openssl libpcre3-dev php-dev && pip3 install cmake
The only difference between the Release
and Optimized
is a flag
called -DPHP_SCYLLADB_OPTIMISE_FOR_CURRENT_MACHINE=ON
.
cmake --preset Release -DPHP_SCYLLADB_OPTIMISE_FOR_CURRENT_MACHINE=ON && cd out/Release && sudo ninja install
ninja install
needs root privileges.
After compiled, you will be at directory scylladb-php-driver/out/Release
and at this folder you will need to move
the cassandra.so
and cassandra.ini
to PHP respective folders.
# current directory: scylladb-php-driver/out/Release
# PHP 8.1
sudo cp ../../cassandra.ini /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/10-cassandra.ini
sudo cp cassandra.so /usr/lib/php/20210902/cassandra.so
# PHP 8.2
sudo cp ../../cassandra.ini /etc/php/8.2/cli/conf.d/10-cassandra.ini
sudo cp cassandra.so /usr/lib/php/20220829/cassandra.so
