Thanks! I suppose you're running this directly on execute_cql3_query results?

Would you mind adding a couple of unit tests to exercise these?

[papaonlegs]

Any news on this?

[papaonlegs]

Can't do this in 5.3.

@papaonlegs If you want to work with Cassandra's collection types, I strongly suggest using the DataStax PHP Driver.

@thobbs do you know when the new driver will be stable enough for production? We want to use "execute_cql3_query" of phpcassa but that appears to be undocumented / unsupported.

The current release is an early alpha. This means that it lacks some features and stability, but should be enough to start testing and working with Apache Cassandra.

@derekchan I do not, but it's worth noting that the PHP driver is built on top of the C++ driver, which is stable and is currently on version 2.0. Additionally, the author of the PHP driver is very responsive to bug reports, so if you do encounter any problems they should be fixed relatively quickly.
