Updated DataStax PHP Drivers for PHP 7.2 and PHP 7.3?

[Chad Bennett]

I was reviewing the Datastax PHP Driver code at https://github.com/datastax/php-driver and want to confirm that the driver has been updated to work with PHP 7.2 and 7.3 and that the drivers located at https://downloads.datastax.com/php-driver/ are built using the code at above mentioned Github repo.

This commit (https://github.com/datastax/php-driver/commit/f2dd28a118bc4c7b3f19063530c153dc499bc66d)

makes it look like the driver was updated for PHP 7.2 and 7.3 but the compatibility details in the github repo are not updated to reflect that and there haven't been any updates in the official downloads at https://downloads.datastax.com/php-driver/

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You might want to just compile from source.  We currently do that to make sure we get all the necessary fixes for PHP 7.2.  This is what we use in our Cent OS 7 based Dockerfile that uses the software collections PHP 7.2 from Remi (https://rpms.remirepo.net/).  You should be able to adapt it to your needs:
# Cassandra PHP Driver with submoduled, statically compiled C/C++ driver
RUN cd /tmp && \
    git clone https://github.com/datastax/php-driver.git && \
    cd php-driver && \
    git submodule update --init && \
# force the cpp driver submodule to the latest master so we get a necessary
# build fix
#   the commit missing is: https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver/commit/0edf3d2eff88d7594ed7dc070f889b1bcacb677f
    git submodule foreach git pull origin master && \
    cd ext && \
# note that this will delete, then create, then use, then delete again:
#   /tmp/php-driver-installation
    scl enable php72 -- bash -c "\
    ./install.sh" && \
    rm -rf /tmp/php-driver && \

    echo "extension=cassandra.so" > /etc/opt/remi/php72/php.d/97-cassandra.ini

I am following the same steps (on Amazon Linux 2018.3) and am getting the same error: Unable to load libcassandra.

If it is building with a statically linked cpp driver, I think it shouldn't be looking for it outside its own build?

I solved it by using pecl to compile the driver

RUN cd /tmp && \

    git clone https://github.com/datastax/php-driver.git && \

    cd php-driver && \

    pecl install ext/package.xml
