phpcassa
========

[](#phpcassa)

phpcassa is a PHP client library for [Apache Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org).

- Compatible with Cassandra 0.7 through 1.2
- Optional C extension for improved performance

This fork of phpcassa is compatible with PHP 8.1+

phpcassa is open source under the [MIT license](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php).

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

While this README includes some useful information, the official and more thorough documentation can be found here:

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

You can find a few fully working example scripts in the `examples/` directory.

### Opening Connections

[](#opening-connections)

```
$pool = new ConnectionPool('Keyspace1');
```

or

```
$pool = new ConnectionPool('Keyspace1', array('localhost'));
```

### Create a column family object

[](#create-a-column-family-object)

```
$users = new ColumnFamily($pool, 'Standard1');
$super = new SuperColumnFamily($pool, 'Super1');
```

### Inserting

[](#inserting)

```
$users->insert('key', array('column1' => 'value1', 'column2' => 'value2'));
```

### Querying

[](#querying)

```
$users->get('key');
$users->multiget(array('key1', 'key2'));
```

### Removing

[](#removing)

```
$users->remove('key1'); // removes whole row
$users->remove('key1', 'column1'); // removes 'column1'
```

### Other

[](#other)

```
$users->get_count('key1'); // counts the number of columns in row 'key1'
$users->get_range('key1', 'key9'); // gets all rows with keys between '1' and '9'
```

Using the C Extension
---------------------

[](#using-the-c-extension)

The C extension is crucial for phpcassa's performance.

You need to configure and make to be able to use the C extension.

*Note*: if `checkinstall` is available, run `sudo checkinstall` in place of `sudo make install`.

```
cd ext/thrift_protocol
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
```

Add the following line to your php.ini file:

```
extension=thrift_protocol.so

```
